    excellent point, so, now let’s look at every other institution of communism in the real world so far, russia, cuba, oops, looks like real communism is impossible and that it always, everytime devolves into a more personally and socially restrictive nightmare because human beings aren’t able to keep their idealism and their realities working together for any length of time, at all. but but but you say real communism hasn’t been tried, but but but i say, real communism is impossible.

      Just because terrible people use the LABEL of communism and some LIMITED language to gaslight their populace does not magically make THEM the arbiters of what the ideology of communism means… It has not been practiced because it was terrible POWER REGIMES that created those governments. That is literally the antithesis of the ideology of communism, but no you go ahead and keep listening to people who DEMONSTRATE they’re not communist…

      You keep choosing to let literally evil people define your world and remain oblivious as to why the world remains evil…

      Stop letting evil people twist words, and the words will suddenly make sense, dummy!

        The problem is that evil people exist. They always take over these systems

        We may be able to have communism one day, but we need an intelligence system in place first that can’t be corrupted by evil people, since even if we had the perfect human who avoided all attempts to kill them, well, humans are mortal and the next one may not be as lucky or as good

          Wholly agreed. We clearly need a system far more robust than the US’s “checks and balances”, clearly.

        yes, naturally, it’s the words, and the ideas behind those words, that are important, not the actual application of those words and ideas. got it. this is a no true scotsman argument.

          No, it’s pointing out the basic fact of life that peoples’ words and actions often do not line up. Especially when talking about politicians.
