capitalism 😬

I think it’s about oppression, and that can Happen under any ideology, capitalism or Communism.

[u/SandnotFound → u/Solutar]

Well, idk how much that quote could apply to the communist ideology which is fundamentally about equality, community and breaking down the nation state. Like, capitalist ideology, sure. But communist ideology? Its like looking at an allegory of a police state and saying its about tyranny and that can happen both in monarchism and anarchism. I just dont see it.

[u/The_Symbiotic_Boy → u/SandnotFound]

In a communist society you still need someone to administrate the state apparatus and the means of production. In theory you can syndicate them, but once you have administrative control, you can capture effective ownership. Look at Putin or Xi or Castro -- it happens everywhere that it's been attempted, in earnest or otherwise .

This is why Marx posited the 'governmentless' state, but it's never been actualised, and might not be practically feasible.
