“Socialism is the goal, communism is the way to reach it” is actually what a lot of MLs seem to secretly believe in the sense that they want to use the appeal of communism to motivate people to create socialism. I have seen very little interest from them in actually building communism.
Your interpretation of Stalin’s interpretation of Lenin’s interpretation of Engels’ interpretation of Marx’s unproven conjecture is not a scientific law.
Imagine being able to press the communism button when there’s still imperialist forces/states ready to undo your revolution. Your understanding of socialism and communism is idealist and not scientific at all.
if you’re waiting until Empire falls to try communism, then you’re going to be waiting a long time. empires rise and empires fall, but one thing that never changes is there’s always another one to replace the old. that chain isn’t going to break if you’re just going to sit around waiting.

that’s because it’s a nonsensical take.
Or even socialism, for that matter - despite the fact that they had oodles of time and resources to do it.

If your going to jump to anarchism/communism when there’s still empires around your not going to have it for a long time see e.g. Rojava
