This is something I find odd. There are allot of communist groups on Lemmy and more and more Americans think they like communism probably because they don’t even know what it is. However what’s funny is there has never been and is currently NO communist countries in existence.(FULL COMMUNIST) Literally.
It is an actual imaginative concept and its just strange none of these people realize it. I don’t care if you’re communist. But just do it, like make it happen so you all can see the flaws in it and realize its wishful thinking.
I’ll tell you why communism doesn’t work. It’s missing the root word (community) you all don’t come together outside of online groups and occasional marches.
So have you noticed this?
UPDATE: Not one country named yet. Some odd reason capitalism is being argued about. Deflection? Who knows. The question has come to a conclusion the answer is communist in fact do not know that communism is not a thing in the real world. Thank you all for your statements, positive and negative. I will no longer engage in this post amongst you.
China isn’t not communist because they engage with capitalism… They’re not communist because their entire system isn’t communist…
When there’s one party, one ruler, and one set of people that get to rule over the rest … that’s specifically NOT communism.
Even if they didn’t engage with the world market, made every business a coop, they would still not be communist. At all.
That’s kind of why I think ‘country’ and ‘communist’ are not really compatible. I don’t think it is possible to have a faithful execution of communism at the scale of an area like China. They’re obviously closer to communism than some places but also just as obviously not there.
What? Lmfao 🤣
China is not even remotelt close to communism, its an authoritarian state-capitalist regime.
Yea, I agree in the general sense, although you will always have something akin to countries so long as the entire world isn’t literally communist. Thus making the distinction rather pointless.
