Can anyone succinctly explain communism? Everything I’ve read in the past said that the state owns the means of production and in practice (in real life) that seems to be the reality. However I encountered a random idiot on the Internet that claimed in communism, there is no state and it is a stateless society. I immediately rejected this idea because it was counter to what I knew about communism irl. In searching using these keywords, I came across the ideas that in communism, it does strive to be a stateless society. So which one is it? If it’s supposed to be a stateless society, why are all real-life forms of communism authoritarian in nature?
Motherfuckers really will downvote a non-stupid question on !nostupidquestions
It was the same way on Reddit. These types of communities are always a fucking joke.
And then there was always someone complaining about it and someone explaining to them that it’s always like that. And then someone telling them that that exact comment chain happens way too fucking often and it brings nothing to the discussion (that’s me in this comment chain!)
Congrats, we achieved Reddit!
Where our golds at though? Kind strangers, this way!
🏅 Here’s poor man’s gold or whatever, never used that stupid emoji before, not sure it’s the correct one.
It’s not whether it’s stupid or not, but that it’s actively belligerent and exposes the antagonism of OP against learning new things. Awful example to set for the community
Op does not seem neither belligerent nor antagonistic to me. Maybe rude in their initial statement, but they’ve been interacting with the comments in a perfectly civil way.
Most definitely not an “awful example to set” in any way.
This is what I’m talking about:
What’s wrong with these statements?
Genuinely don’t know what you’re talking about.
This is exactly what happened, how it happened. The idiot I was arguing with kept going back and forth in his arguing, in some comments he would say there is a state in communism, then two comments later he said communism has no state. So yes, the person I was talking to was an idiot, not uncommon (hello my username.)
If this blurb offends you, maybe I was wrong about the conservatives calling us snowflakes.
