    Can a nation be considered to have achieved communism when it still has a hierarchy?

      Communism in the Marxist sense isn’t about abolishing hierarchies. When they say they want a stateless society, there will still be oppression but executed by workers which is much besser. Source: read Das Kapital or something. I’m not a Marxist, what do I know

      The final goal of communism is a worldwide, stateless, classless, moneyless society.

      This has obviously never been achieved, but the socialist and communist factions that use Marxism Leninism to work toward this goal are still nonetheless communist.

      Communists are not people that practice communism (not possible yet), they are people trying to achieve communism as an end goal.
