    We already call “Marxism-Leninism,” well, Marxism-Leninism, which includes both the system and the end goal.

      Fair enough. I’ll start just calling it that instead of “communism”.

        I think you should just use terms the way Communists and people in general have been using them, though. MLs are Communists, you don’t need to not call them by what they are.

          If the system’s purpose is what it does, and not what they claim to want, then we’ll have to agree to disagree on that.

            I suppose, perhaps you have a different conception of what Communism is than what Marx believed it to be or how it is likely to be achieved, in which case Marxism-Leninism would indeed not fit your conception of Communism.
