There is no example of marxism being seriously implemented, it’s always been used as aesthetics and excuses for authortarian government who want total economical control.
Those governments never implement true workplace democracy or worker control over the means of production.
That doesn’t mean marxism can’t work, just no one’s seriously tried. At a small scale it definitely can work, anarchist communes are often successful, despite the best efforts of governments to sabotage them however they can.
Anarchy and Marxism aren't the same thing, lmao
Anarchist communes tend to be collectivist, (anarcho-communist).
Ukraine Free Territory, Rojava, etc.
There it is. No true Marxist
If 100 people came and claimed to save a forest by setting fire to it, will you say that everyone who tries to save a forest actually wants to set it on fire?
lol wut?
E: this is some weird leftie "gotcha" copypasta, right? Whatever.
Could you please explain why you think giving examples for countries that claimed to be socialist being bad is enough to claim socialism is bad?
I don't understand the question
I probably didnt phrase it clearly the first 2 times
Could you please expand on this reply?
In a nutshell, "There has never been 'true' Communism, therefore you cannot criticize 'actual' Communism"
Even though definitions of communism varies from person to person, all that i have seen share in common the goal of a communist society
There are also many types of socialism that cant really be grouped together to say that if one doesnt work, none work
It works fine up until about 100 people
