We really should rename whatever Soviets were doing to “state capitalism”. So many people in Ukraine have extremely negative views of communism because of how Soviets used it as a false label.

Update: oh boy, looks like MLs woke up and discovered someone is slandering their favourite country

Real communism has never really existed. They’re just authoritarian dictatorships that hoard power and wealth at the top while paying lip service to whatever variant of social policy they offer the masses. The people are never actually given the power over the State or control of production.
And it never will exist, because politically inert western liberals who have declared themselves the true arbiters of “real communism” will reflexively disqualify anything western propaganda tells them to.
I would like to hear your examples of it existing.
No, I’m agreeing with you, only Western liberals who get their knowledge from Wikipedia are actually communists: the rest are just devious, evil, foreign authoritarians who are merely pretending in other to deceive the true protagonists of history: western liberals.
None, then. Not unexpected, but somewhat disappointing.
Lol, you can tell the redditers by the way they all try to talk like smug anime villains.
Just as you can tell russian trolls by how quickly they move the goalposts in a conversation
Lol, oh you’re a Russiagater xenophobe as well. Great anarchist you are, fucking dipshit liberal.
Oh, sorry, do you still have “Soviet Union” written as your nationality?
Lol, “all dissenters are actually secret agents of the ontologically evil Other country. I’m an anarchist by the way.”
Oh, not all. Just you. Unless you’re trying to imply that all other accounts responding to me are also you
Lol, love to see ultranationalist xenophobes who believe dissent means you’re from the Bad Country try to pretend to be anarchists.
So that earlier comment about acting like children was a projection, I see
Lol, you really couldn’t think of anything except “no u!”?
