    Condemning the USSR and PRC for not achieving a global stateless, classless, moneyless society is ridiculous. This isn’t a gap between theory and practice, lol. Communism isn’t anarchism.

      … do you understand that criticism can come from outside your own belief set?

        Yep, but I also understand what Communists actually advocate for and understand that countries building Communism should be judged like every society: with respect to trajectory, not as a snapshot.

        Communism isn’t a goal because it is stateless, classless, and moneyless. Rather, Communism is a goal because the process of getting there is to create a society benefitting all and directed for the working class, by the working class.

          Ignoring what other people mean is not a yes.

              Making up what you’d rather hear is worse.

                I made up none of what I said, and you engaged with none of it either. I addressed everything you said, to which you plugged your ears.

                You’re clearly not trying to have a discussion, just sound off on your opinion.

                  You have repeatedly ignored explanations of what people are doing and why, to instead engage in scoffistry at opinions sourced from the vicinity of your pelvis.

                  Repeated efforts to highlight how that’s what you’re doing, and get back to what people say and mean, led you to dismiss people entirely. “Perhaps what you mean isn’t worth much?” is a confession.

                    Yea, more dodging, and nothing to go off of. Way to never respond to any of my points or counterpoints, lol
