          None of which any state which has nominally aspired toward Communism has achieved. There have been no Communist states. There have been states which have claimed, perhaps earnestly, that they are trying to transition to Communism. There can be no Communist state, it’s a contradiction of terms.

            Some incredible fucking insight, especially as it goes against probably all historical literature we have on the subject.

                    As a one-party state governed by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, it was a flagship communist state.

                    In the summary of the article. 5 seconds this time. Still as waste of time if you can believe it.

      China isn’t communist. China is a capitalist dictatorship with one man at the top, a few people taking decisions and raking in all the profits and everyone else wage slaving away. Tell me what it reminds you
