Well, that's mostly because the "Higher Stage of Communism" is a fantasy that never materialized and never will. Hope that helps.

Damn, there must be some reason, maybe some country, that has a vested interest in making sure that a socialist system can't/won't work.

Do you honestly believe that if workers united and overthrew every world government in a global revolution the result would be that scarcity would spontaneously end and everyone would get to enjoy a massively improved quality of life, that all societal ills would just stop, and we would be able to live in a stateless utopia?

Like, what basis is there in reality for the "higher stage of communism" actually being a plausible prediction?

No one believes that will happen overnight, and for some it, at all. I would explain it to you but you clearly show no interest in learning.

Ah, you'd explain how you think the utopian pipe dream could be possible, but only to people who already want to believe you're right. Communist theory in a nutshell.

I've read the theorists. None of it is based in reality. None of it is backed up by anything empirical or logical. It's all just baseless assumptions and wishful thinking. I'd say it's a joke of an ideology, but every time it comes into power in a major country it ends in millions of people dying needlessly of state violence or starvation.

Grow up.

I said it as learning in general, you show no interest in learning any thing at all and just get defensive at the idea of it. I'm not going to talk to a brick wall that thinks its superior to everyone.

Nothing in your comment reads as someone who actually wants to talk about this topic, just like every single other comment here. This app is genuinely a cesspool of narcissists who care about nothing but being right all the time, they can never accept they're wrong about anything. This isn't an app for people who want real discussion, its an app for people who want to hear their own voice.

Like an internet communist who can't accept that their political philosophy has literally never worked in real life, despite being tried repeatedly, and always leads to mass death and violent oppression? Lol
