See
Mac1958 ! What
scruffy is doing is relying on the Great Taboo. "
Don't you DARE try to talk about socialism or communism or we'll make sure you get intimidated to shut you up and stop the discussion before it starts!"
And here is something really interesting for you to watch for. These anti-lefties and anti-communists are so frigging dumb that they will usually refer to "communism" when meaning communist ideology,
and when meaning communist society, as though ideology and society are the same! They will often bounce back and forth between the two
and never realize what they're doing, and sometimes in the same damned sentence!!!! (Communism is communism, right?)
Communist ideology strives to follow strategies, analyses, and methods that are derived from Marx's writings. They tend to be ruthless and violent in their efforts to create
socialism.
Socialist are a bit more creative and try to avoid violence in creating
socialism. So both have the same goal with different methods of getting there.
But what about communist
society? "Communism", meaning communist society,
cannot be imposed on a nation by force. Communism, as it is intended, means Marx's idea of communism. (BTW, Marx referred to "lower communism" and to "higher communism". His "lower communism" is what we call "socialism" while his "higher communism" is what we call "communism".)
So why can't communism be imposed by force? Simply because Marx's idea was/is that after a few generations of life under a stable, functioning socialist system, people will become accustomed to interacting without exploitation being allowed, with cooperation being reinforced, with natural fellowship being the norm, with the sociopathic impulse of capitalists to exploit and to own a business to exploit workers and accumulate a private profit for themselves being outlawed, laws of the state (the state's purpose is to manage the class struggle for the ruling class) will be needed less and less as time passes under socialism. Thus, the state will "wither away" as Marx termed it. And eventually it can be safely abolished when its job is done and it has withered to a pointless bureaucracy doing little to nothing.
That will, as I said, take generations. And for it to happen it will be necessary for classes to also wither away. So what is "class" which must wither away? It would be class consciousness, class interests, class goals, class intentions, class expectations, class preferences, class objections, and class dreams to name a few. How long do you think it would take for such class characteristics to wither away? And could the end of any of them be ordered, legislated, required, policed, and eliminated by force? OF COURSE NOT. Therefore, communist classless, stateless society cannot be imposed by force.
(Now watch some Prize Dope pop up to tell us this isn't true and that of course communist ideology can be imposed by force. LOL!!!)
