the man is kinda right tho. problem is: communists themselves deny marx. as olavo de carvalho used to say: we’re living the worst of communism and the worst of capitalism altogether nowadays. china is the best (worst) example of it. hence: lenin’s statue in schwab’s office. that’s the model they wanna adopt, same shit as usual, same classes as usual, 1% on the top, 90% on the base, 9% of a technocrat middle class. that’s not marxism. but the frankenstein that came later on with lenin/stalin/mao. when you say communism is the late stateless stage, you fall into the same mistake of 99% of communists: you havent read what marx wrote after paris commune. that is, it didnt work. that’s when marx became more of an anarchist. no more the socialism stage till the fall of state. the rule then was: destroy. destroy the state. destroy the means of production. destroy society as a whole and start from zero. people mattered, not the party, not the state. then he died. and engels was the first to betray him, placing the party above the people.
not saying I agree with him. I mostly dont agree with 20th century communists, let alone 21th century’s. tho we certainly disagree for different reasons.
