Initially?
Many things can work "initially".
What about capitalism that worked "initially" up until the present?

That's no excuse, in all systems individuals exist and the more concentrated the power (like it is in the State) the easier is to fuck up things.

you probably couldn't shoot a gun without breaking your shoulder pal, do you know how to shoot or own any guns AT THE MOMENT?

Initially, I mean when they followed the theory, but mistakes have been done, and we acknowledge and learn from them.
I'll just add a point here: USSR was against the whole world, if USA was the only capitalist country and the rest of the world was communist and had closed their markets to USA, how would USA fare? Especially if it still was a feudal shithole like the Russian Empire.

>It can pump money BECAUSE it is working.
I never said capitalism doesn't work, but it's flawed and we can surpass it.

Empirical knowledge, your gender theory course doesn't count as communists. Still you can't judge an ideology by its followers, even if they were. If you find it to be correct then it's your duty to clean the trash.

Why learn mistakes from something broken?
Why not learn "mistakes" from monarchy or other systems?
Because they is no reason to, it's not a "mistake".
When you give state absolute power it will collapse.
All communist states (even in germany) you had policing of every aspect of your life, how you dress how you speak etc.
It always devolved into that like clockwork.

>I never said capitalism doesn't work, but it's flawed and we can surpass it.
No one said it isn't flawed.
We can surpass it, but nothing something that can't even fucking start working decently, communism isn't "flawed", you wish it was, it is outright broken beyond repair.

>The fuck are you talking about? Communism is by definition what follows capitalism, it's post-capitalism, as capitalism can be said to be post-feudalism.

Ofcourse we learn from past politics, including communism, we should learn that is dysfunctional to its core.
With your reasoning why not "learn" from the mistakes of capitalism and make it better?
>CAPITALISM IS EVIL
Yeah we could say the same for communism, which in facts raped to death its own people.
At least capitalism is functional and provides you the LUXURY of this retarded reasoning you have.

>Amazing argument, please stop bothering you tire me.

We can surpass everything, how about with something better and a trash system you fucking broken record.

Serious question, do you have any learning disabilities?

Stop doing that. Read Marx. Read Engels. Read the revolutionary social-democrats and communists like Luxemburg, Anton Pannekoek, read Amadeo Bordiga and Paul Mattick. Read. You don't understand shit if your understanding is basically "oooh communism is just a game, I gotta choose my favorite character wisely".

Don't let that get in the eventually understanding the world, because believe me, you really don't know shit, and you are either going to end as some vehement utter fuckwit like most posters replying to you, or a Marxist

In my country they can.

I can claim to be a nazi and wave swastikas but that doesn't make me a nazi, marxism has very specific tenets and if you disagree with them you are not a marxist, waving sickles and hammers and calling yourself communist doesn't change this. On the other hand, your average, say, nazi actually accepts the ideology put forward by Hitler, and is a fucking clown.

>No true Scotsman is an informal fallacy, an ad hoc attempt to retain an unreasoned assertion.[1] When faced with a counterexample to a universal claim ("no Scotsman would do such a thing"), rather than denying the counterexample or rejecting the original claim, this fallacy modifies the subject of the assertion to exclude the specific case or others like it by rhetoric, without reference to any specific objective rule ("no true Scotsman would do such a thing"; i.e., those who perform that action are not part of our group and thus criticism of that action is not criticism of the group).[

If you're suggesting I just give into the cruelty of it and take advantage of the system to advance myself then I'd like to direct you to some of Aloysha's closing words of the Brothers Karamazov

>Perhaps we may even grow wicked later on, may be unable to refrain from a bad action, may laugh at men’s tears and may even jeer spitefully at such people. But however bad we may become, yet, when we recall how we buried Ilusha, how we loved him in his last days, and how we have been talking like friends all together, the cruelest and most mocking of us won’t dare to laugh inwardly at having been kind and good at this moment! And, perhaps, that one memory may keep him from great evil and he will reflect and say, ‘Yes, I was good and brave and honest then!’ I say this in case we become bad, but there’s no reason why we should become bad. Let us be, first and above all, kind; then, honest; and then, let us never forget each other!

God, I'm so tired of this. In order to make society a fair place, you must treat many people very unfairly. If you are on the bottom of the food chain, economically speaking, you will probably never achieve enormous financial success. You can, however, achieve a level of financial success to better off your children so that they can achieve more than you did, financially speaking. My point is that wealth is not achieved in one generation (typically), and often takes a couple generations to really create reach upper the echelons of society (i.e. Upper middle class).

Bitching and moaning that "rich people ruin everything" and "life isn't fair because this kid starts out with financial backing and I didn't" is not going to help you climb the social ladder. Also, every single society in human history has established a social hierarchy, so you have to learn to deal with it.

You seem to be absolutely set that a society NEEDS to be fair. That is an impossibility. Nowhere in history has life been fair. What makes you think it's going to change?

I literally explained what I meant by that but you still post your stupidity.

Motherfucker what do you think communism is?
N.Korea has CENTRAL MOTHERFUCKING PLANNING

>Assuming the USSR is communist what isn't communist about China?
USSR was communist and so was China decades ago.

>Complete retard alert.
Mate, I see you've been drinking the horseshit "theory" kool-aid but if you actually ever bothered to read any Marxist or fascist literature it should be obvious how something cannot be both.

Most glaringly communism is explicitly a-nationalist.

>Motherfucker what do you think communism is?
Not central planning, that's what.

>USSR was communist and so was China decades ago.
That doesn't answer my question. How is the USSR communist but China not?
To expand on that point. How is state ownership of everything justified according to Marxist-theory yet a mix of state and private ownership isn't? Ultimately both are just as removed from worker control as each other.

So, how do you reconcile the claim that the USSR is communist yet China is not?

>Fucking christ how old are you?
Old enough to read books that don't have pictures in them which I encourage you to start doing.

Maybe begin with the Communist Manifesto, it's probably shorter than the threads you're likely to read today combined so it might be easy for you.

>stop presenting the bureaucracy as an autonomous class, perfidiously warmed-up within the proletariat, and instead consider it as a huge apparatus linked to a given historical situation in the world-wide evolution of capitalism

"Capital can easily get rid of liberalism without changing its nature. And this is also clear: the direction of the degeneration, the degeneration of the revolution in Russia does not pass from the revolution for communism to the revolution for a developed kind of capitalism, but to a pure capitalist revolution. It runs in parallel with world-wide capitalist domination which, by successive steps, eliminates old feudal and Asiatic forms in various zones. While the historical situation in the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries caused the capitalist revolution to take liberal forms, in the twentieth century it must have totalitarian and bureaucratic ones."

Twisted view of communism.
We're not trying to 'get by', we can 'get by' in capitalism, the thing is how will we achieve a fine life for the majority of the population, taking advantage of the advanced technology that exists in the year 2k and 16.

All communist parties were against immigration because it works against the benefits of the workers, this changed when capitalist elements infiltrated most of the western european communist parties. Only capitalist benefit from immigration.

Wait why the fuck did I try to answer seriously, go back to your cuck porn fucking retard.

>>1274914
You're failing to understand the fundamental flaw in Communism. That being, yes, it does put "everyone" on an equal plane. "everyone" meaning the lower and middle class. If you think the uber wealthy are just going to say "okay, guess I'll just take an enormous pay cut and a downgrade in how I live" you're out of your fucking mind. They leave, and with them, all of that money that you thought was going to go to the people. You don't want communism. You want the limp wristed faggot idea of communism that's so popular with young adults disillusioned with the system.
>>
>>1274960
Wrong.
I never expected rich people to stay, and their bank credits are useless, what we need is the means of production, which they can't put on their private jet and leave. And of course they won't give them up freely, force will be used to get them.

Are you a member of any political party?

Why do communist parties tend to cuck themsevlves and become reformist groups?

As the contradictions in capitalism grow why is it the far right and not the far left that are growing?

How is dialectical materialism (not historical materalism) not religious?

>Why do communist parties tend to cuck themsevlves and become reformist groups?

Stalinists weren't particularly revolutionary in the first place.

>As the contradictions in capitalism grow why is it the far right and not the far left that are growing?

Communists know communism is dead. Some try to make a point of it to interact and intellectualize quite passively with people for now. I don't feel like I can give a adequate answer yet.

>How is dialectical materialism (not historical materalism) not religious?

Some of us agree with this.
>>
>>1275213
How come you forgot the political party question?

>Stalinists weren't particularly revolutionary in the first place.

Its not just an issue with Stalinist -almost all groups in the first world fall to this.

>Communists know communism is dead

What do you mean by that?

>Some of us agree with this.

Do you? given how central it is to Marxs thinking this would be a serious issue.

I'm not OP and I felt that question would've been more appropriate for him. I've never been in any organization.

>Its not just an issue with Stalinist -almost all groups in the first world fall to this.

This is somewhat true, though the reformist disease is something much more crippling in the third world. You can see the "parliamentary cretinism" in the way that the Communist Party of India is really less than social-democratic parties of the 19th and early 20th century. Their program may espouse "revolution" or the more troubling "ownership of the means of production", but they are effectively bourgeois factions, they have a liberal and progressive understanding of capitalism at best, they are forever lost. More explicitly, the "national liberationists" of the third world have sought to combine their liberal understanding with elements of pan-Islamism to expand their populist base. Lenin acknowledged this was a danger.
In the first world, some parties that don't fall to what is strictly reformism instead become petty-bourgeois minded cults which really seek no understanding of or connection to the workers.

>What do you mean by that?

The communist movement has existed, a fact that allows people to claim the banner of communism in an era where only its defeats is acknowledged.

>Do you? given how central it is to Marxs thinking this would be a serious issue.

I wouldn't really have anything to say about it. It is.

To clarify, this is like some of the Bordigist(?) groups in Italy with, what we can say, a quasi-communist obsession with the purity of theory which may make them reject the action of the working-classes and gains in their freedom in fear of nonsense like becoming reformists themselves.

Read what I said above in current post. It is clear who profits from CP's going non-revolutionary.
>As the contradictions in capitalism grow why is it the far right and not the far left that are growing?
This is temporary, also said CP's cucking themselves, but it won't last forever. Also dealing with immigration in its current form takes Hitler to fix it.
>How is dialectical materialism (not historical materalism) not religious?
You might see it as a religion, that's okay. It's still a philosophy though.

>>1275195
I also thought the same when I was a /pol/fag, you need to realise there's a difference between true socialism and 'national socialism', nazis do not want the dictatorship of the proletariat, they want class cooperation, this is a HUGE difference. Also, socialism cannot be seen as an end in itself, only as a form of immature communism.
