    Nothing is stopping you from forming communes all over the place

    The USSR, Cuba, North Korea, and Vietnam famously forming unopposed. Capitalists and feudalists famously did not try to invade them and overturn their elections.

      USSR

      I swear, one more time I hear about this shithole being called a good example of a communist country I’m gonna obliterate someone’s crotch.

      It was a fucking earth shattering dictaroship without an ounce of actual communal care and cooperation.

        it was a pretty good first attempt

        nah it actually had pretty sick vibes and legit community, lots of bureaucracy doesn’t wipe that out of existence. If you could give me a time machine and a passport fabricator it’s hard to imagine a better time and place to live than this place newly built: The Crowning Gem of Soviet Urban Planning (Lazdynai, Lithuania)

        What about the colonial control and possession of those countries before like in Asia, Africa, and the Americas? The SSRs that made it up before their revolution were just as fucked over and destroyed as Cuba, Vietnam, China, Korea, Angola, Algiers etc due to colonialism. Maybe a world built on colonialism should have been shattered, and those people should be allowed to run their own show. You think revolutions occur because people were happy before? Its the last resort of an annihilated people.

          What those countries? Because I see nothing in my previous comment this could refer to.

          The SSRs that made it up before their revolution were just as fucked over and destroyed as Cuba, Vietnam, China, Korea, Angola, Algiers etc due to colonialism.

          Yes, that’s why you can’t just jump from a decaying broken land straight into communist paradise and call it a day. That’s just not gonna work, and that’s what Marx was really precise about. You can’t transition into a communist country without first being a very prosperous socialist country. USSR was a poor, imperialist, corrupt, and deranged authoritarian project that was producing more poor, imperalist, corrupt and deranged authoritarian satellites of big momma rassiya.

          Maybe a world built on colonialism should have been shattered, and those people should be allowed to run their own show.

          Sure, so what? Because that’s clearly not something USSR was striving for. DEFINITELY not the last part.

          You think revolutions occur because people were happy before? Its the last resort of an annihilated people.

          Once again, I’ve no idea what you’re getting at if you’re somehow referring to my previous comment

      I would gladly run off and form a commune with a bunch of my like-minded friends, too bad we’re all broke workers and can’t afford even a house between us, let alone a plot of land big enough to support ourselves
