russia is a good example of Communism

Years of communism will:

- Divide and reduce the size of your country
- Instill fear amongst younger generation
- more citizens will escape abroad
- harvest anger and corruption
- harvest narcissism
- encourage never-ending, senseless wars

What else? 😏

Russia was never communist.
Communism refers to a stateless, classless society where the means of production are held in common ownership and there is no currency.

What Russia had was a "Communist" Party, that really was just state capitalism.
It had wages, the Bolsheviks were essentially the owning class.

The closest to real socialism and communism is in Rojava, the Zapatistas in Chiapas and in the past,
Anarchist Catalonia and Kronstadt.

@basilfawlty89 It’s communist principles run deep even today….and I don’t see anything good coming out of it.

@Vivaci there is nothing communist about a state, a dictator, wage labour, or government ownership.
Actual socialism refers to workers collectively owning the businesses.

@Vivaci I really recommend reading this to understand what real Communism is:
