Zero industries, so no industrial workers, no proletarians? Now you've explained away the base of support for the bolsheviks. And in any case, going from a transitional capitalist state to a transitional capitalist state doesn't sound much better

lmao what? No, capitalism never ended is what I'm saying, and definitely not under Stalin

Yes, I agree. And a communist critique of the Soviet Union is saying "this is just also capitalism, so I don't need to jump through hoops trying to defend it"

Yeah alright dude... Genuine question: do you ever take a step back and think "what if critiques of the USSR and other AES countries actually are correct"?

Because tanks were used in Hungary 1956, Czechoslovakia 1968, Tianmen square 1989

Liberals are very quick to suggest authoritarian solutions as long as they think they will gain from it. Age limits on running for office and on voting, no felons, requiring an intelligence test to vote etc are all things I've seen suggested. It's pretty funny actually

also acceptable

"The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of nationalist struggles"

Correct! They intended a white supremacist system run by the wealth-holding elite, and were terrified of the masses having a say

Bro, you're a communist, you should know better than to advocate for "better wages"

A lot of the time I feel "annoying" really means "they come with criticism based on the theory they've read"...

Amen sister 🙏

please elaborate, what would change a lot

yes let's "return" to a time where power and wealth is still concentrated to a small group of people – a class, if you will – but at least some of them will be put in prison if they do something too egregious

how would that be enough, it would not change the power structures even a little bit
