    The core of communism is having a stateless, classless, moneyless society.

    None of them want that, nor did any of the states they support achieve it.

    PREACH.

    I’ve had to explain this one to some friends and family.

    North Korea calls themselves a democracy. But we can all agree that when there’s only one motherfucker on the ballot, what you have is NOT a democracy, right? Calling yourself something doesn’t make it true.

    So when a country calls themselves communist but has suicide nets on their fucking factories, the same shit applies. Communism has a definition, and a society can fail to meet that definition while still claiming to be communist.
