    Not being able to defend itself is indeed an indictment of a societal structure.

        Moscow has survived attacks from France. Every viable political/economic system has to be able to defend itself. I hope you realize how ridiculous your argument is by giving an example of something that lasted just barely 2 months. That’s like claiming that a perpetual motion machine exists by showing some swinging pendulum for 10 seconds.

            They don’t. There has never been a communist or anarchist society that has functioned for an extended length of time as its own sovereign entity.
