It's weird that people still think that Communism still exists...

It's sad that people who comment and talk about others being leftists or communists these days, have never read Marxist literature or done a single discourse on communism. If they had, they'd know communism has been long dead, since the rise of Stalin. 🤷‍♂️

Possibly because the ruling party in China is called the Communist Party. Possibly because these days everybody gets to define words and terms any way they like.

@Mamapolo2016 China being "communist" is such a joke - they're the most capital driven country in today's time. 😂

@FootL00se I did not say they were Communist. I said that's what they are called.

@Mamapolo2016 I know... I agreed to your point. Was just adding onto it, that's it's a joke that they call themselves that.

@SW-User What does it mean to be a commie? Please educate me on what is a Marxist ideology if you've ever read their works?

@SW-User How can I love something that's dead. My post just said that there are no commies in the world.

@FootL00se I have read some of their works.

It is, as I recall, based on the work of all benefiting all equally. All are seen as of equal value and all own everything. No social classes.

From each according to their ability to each according to their need.

It's a very pretty song. But it has never yet translated in a performance on a large scale.

@Mamapolo2016 It can't. Because at its core, accepting communism means abandoning the concept of "ownership". Society would crumble today if that legal concept was done away with.

@FootL00se In practice, communism actually means a few own everything, just like capitalism does, only it's not as pronounced as in practical communism. With capitalism, more own some and few own a lot.
