      It is. Those are amongst the few things that those of us on the left who aren’t tankies pining for the faux-communist oligarchies of old can all agree on.

      Communism ≠ USSR

          China is a mess of contradictions and is thus not a good example of communism, market economy or anything else.

          It’s a convenient target for ignorant blowhards like yourself and the ongoing Uyghur genocide is of course beyond detestable, but that doesn’t make whatever the Finnish equivalent of Faux News says about it true.

            So the only examples of radical equality and peaceful coexistance of communism stems from your imagination, as in, not reality?

              No, from the actual political theory, rather than failed to fraudulent real life attempts you pretend to be representative because it fits your bigoted narrative.

                You know mate, a theory that don’t actually work is called a shit theory and a waste of everyones time. If all the applications of this “theory” turn out to be shit, then usually people tend to not do it again. Google the definition of insanity for me real quick please

                  Yeah, because the moment you call something communism, that means you’re automatically staying faithful to athe tof it because people never lie or distort anything.

                  I could start killing everyone I don’t like and call it cubism, doesn’t make me a fucking painter 🤦

                    And when all the cubists start killing people we can safely say that cubism and the theory involved in it is kinda shit ye
