    Okay, you’ve described communism as a theoretical state that we as socialist want to arrive at as we resolve the contridictions within society.

    How is this different than what people like me that you call tankies are talking about. What fo you know that we don’t?

      The difference is the support of oligarchic (not communist) Russia in the war against Ukraine, as a lot of hexbear users are advocating.

        Forget about Ukraine for a minute. I want you to explain to me your theory of democratic communism. What’s the theory of change? What does a democratic comminist revolutuon look like? Is there a theoretical basis for these beliefs?

        I’m a marxist leninist, i am someone you would call a tankie. I want you to explain to me you’re version of communism

        A) What makes you think we think the Russian Federation is “Communist”?

        B) Why do you not also describe Ukraine as an oligarchy when it’s entire reputation for the last 30 years is as one of the most ludicrously corrupt places on Earth?
