Maybe the purpose of a system is what it does…
Maybe trying to lower the rate/efficiency of the baby-killing machine is the wrong approach…
Maybe you should be thinking about destroying it…

Yeah, that’s no typo. You have regular boring communist countries that just sit there being communist. In a post-McCarthy world most people realized those countries are pretty benign. You have imperialist nations that attempt to extend their territory and influence. Then you slap it all together and you get the USSR. Or Putin’s Russia.
putin specifically ran on explicitly anticommunist platform (the first time he was elected anyway)
Yeah clearly, no need to double down
Sorry, I had no clue what you were even getting at when you quoted 2 words without context
It’s a term https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_state
And unironically using it shows every leftist that you have no idea about socialist politics 💀💀
I think it’s just such a common term and people generally understand what it means. Surprised that some have a big issue with it tbh
It’s such a common term of capitalist propaganda…
This is a leftist community just fyi
I think it has more to do with communist parties in rule than actually saying they’ve achieved communism. A leftist community understands the difference so doesn’t seem like a big deal to me
It is semantics, I agree. But tainted semantics and objectively wrong.
You could instead say “communist-led country”, “socialist country”.
The mainstream usage doesn’t understand the nuance you mentioned btw
