    Yeah, that the thing. Socialism is the withering state and Communism is the stateless version.

    It is clear that Cuba is not a stateless society where the people control the means of production.

    Saying Cuba is Communist is nonsensical. Even according to a Communist.

      Communism is the stateless version.

      Statelessness is anarchy practically by definition. Also, by this definition, communism has never been tried at scale, and if you’re getting your definition from .ml, I doubt they’d agree with that.

        Hence why claiming that countries are Communist is so ridiculous to begin with let alone calling Cuba Communist. It is silly, I am not sure they even claim to be Communist themselves other than having the PCC.
