        Shortsighted, idealistic, accelerationist nonsense. You fell for KGB propaganda. How many members of the working class need to suffer and die to bring about that collapse? Accelerationists never think about the cost, or assume they won’t be one of the ones to suffer.

            Right because 1. ex-KGB Putin totally isn’t keeping the dream alive and well 2. acknowledging the very real and proven influence of Russian state-sponsored troll farms has anything to do with the CIA 3. that’s definitely how logic works. You don’t have to be a US propaganda shill to recognize a Russian propaganda shill. Cosplay Leftists decomposing everything into a fictitious ideological dichotomy is exactly what the capitalist oligarchs want.

                I don’t think communism is evil, I am a Communist. China is not Russia is not Communist. They couldn’t possibly be Communist, since communism is by definition moneyless and stateless, and both China and Russia are states that have money. China and Russia are both capitalist countries with varying degrees of state involvement and oligarchy. Suggesting that either country is Communist is a bad script.

                    Communism is defined as a stateless, classless, moneyless society; broadly speaking, a society in which private property is abolished. Neither China nor Russia has abolished private property, and in fact both countries are home to many billionaires.

                    What definition were you using, and how is it in any way applicable to modern China or Russia?

            Then stop proving me right.

            Not a liberal. Anarcho-Communist. But I’m also not an idiot. Praxis praxis praxis. You have none, only idealism.

              What’s the praxis here? I think the word you’re looking for here is “pragmatism”; those aren’t the same things.

                I am aware. Praxis is the synthesis of theory and action, as distinct from pure idealism divorced from any actual action. Pragmatism is a guiding principle in choosing what actions to take, prioritizing behavior that has tangible results over fruitless ones.

                I can see why you would think I’m conflating the two since I am advocating praxis specifically founded on pragmatism. However, I’m also generally advocating any form of praxis, pragmatic or not, over just empty both-sides complaining.
