    Communism is a state (as in a social, political and economic condition, not a government). None of these states ever reached this condition, and, therefore, was never communist. And, one could argue, that their development literally went the opposite way to what could be called communist with a straight face. As the anarchist Bakunin famously said, “the people’s boot is still a boot.”

    This is why the Maoist-types call this shit “democratic centralism,” which is essentially just double-speak for “what the party says goes.”

    This does not make the idea of communism invalid - but it’s still as perfectly vague as ever, unfortunately.

    Just like Batman, eh?

    In real life wanting change isn’t bad. But using violence

    So as long as your desire for change doesn’t actually threaten the people at the top, it’s all okay?

    That is literally what the people creating this kind of propaganda wants you to believe.
