The entire first half of this "essay" is a cluster of verbose, and sometimes completely irrelevant, quotations that fail to succinctly answer "what is communism"?
They succinctly address your contention that communism "does not inherently mean the dissolution of the state". Straight from every single one of the big horses' mouths, it does inherently mean that.
Want to actually tell me what is incomplete with my definition of communism, in 2 sentences or less?
Quoting myself: Communism is a primarily internationalist movement which sees the state as an instrument of class domination and seeks ultimately to dissolve it.
All I did was refute your point
lol
I didn't say it was palingenesis.
Then it doesn't meet my "own definition", as you claimed it did. You can't simply ignore that component.
BOO, WE AIN'T TALKING ABOUT THEORY. How many times do I have to say in reality before this gets through?
No, I just get tired of debating recent college grads who took a handful of poli-sci courses and yet still can't think critically.
I'm 30 years old and I've been studying Marxism literally half of my life now. What is your background in the subject, if you don't mind me asking?
