      That’s what annoys me the most. Tankies will go defend Russia like it’s the promised land of communism, when the only remnant of communism it has is rigged elections and propaganda.

        To be fair, it has the most boots to be licked and some people have urges that the rest of us will never understand. /S

        Nah dude, someone took the opportunity to use a slogan originating in witch hunts of people threatening the ruling class in their bleeding of post-war prosperity in America.

        This is about some despot using their resources to interfere with what modest self-governance we have in America

        Communism isn’t Utopian, it isn’t a “perfect model of society” that people simply need to agree with in their minds to adopt. It’s closer to a theory of historical development and analyzing what will come after Capitalism in that long chain of development.

        Knowing about it can speed up the process of development, since you can better direct it, but modes of production emerge from what came before.
