              A tankie with a Stalin avatar asks “what’s communism?” You can’t even make this up.

              I’ll let Marx tell you:

              “In this sense, the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property.”

              -Manifesto of the Communist Party

              Within the co-operative society based on common ownership of the means of production, the producers do not exchange their products; just as little does the labor employed on the products appear here as the value of these products, as a material quality possessed by them, since now, in contrast to capitalist society, individual labor no longer exists in an indirect fashion but directly as a component part of total labor.

              -Critique of the Gotha Programme

                This is obvious, what does your ‘variant’ of Marxism do differently than Marxism-Leninism, and has it come close to establishing a DOTP that can fending off imperialist attacks against it?

                  Your questions betray a terrible confusion. There was never a DotP “established” by Marxism-Leninism. There was no such thing as “Marxism-Leninism” when the Bolsheviks siezed power from the provisional government in October. By the time “Marxism-Leninism” was created by Stalin, there was no longer a DotP in Russia as the world revolution had degenerated and capitulated to class collaborationist opportunism. “Marxism-Leninism” is the result of and the excuse for that opportunism and from its inception took the role of the ideology of the nationalist foreign policy of the capitalist Soviet State divorced from the historical communist programme.

                  Why do you think Stalin need to jail, kill, or exile all the old guard?

    to be honest, in high school i unironically typed to my crush like this because i felt shy and it felt like talking quietly… ^^;; i also really liked ellipses… and this smiling-embarrassed emoticon, which i had a tendency to use more than once per message ^^;;

      I might be a little more amenable to Communism if there were sex orgies all the time.
