          I’m asking what your point is, or are you incapable of reading more than 6 words in a reply?

            My point is:

            "Shit like this is why I don’t get (some of) the LGBTQ community’s fascination with communism and tankies.

            They have proven themselves just as anti-LGBTQ as the fascists."

                I just think it’s convenient that communism gets to live in this little “no true scotsman/communism” bubble where if a state adopts communism and fails, it immedietly gets labeled as “not a real communist” state.

                That way, instead of looking if there’s something wrong with communism itself, it can get written off as the fault of the state attempting it.

                  It’s not really convenient. It’s that communism is an ideal that’s literally impossible for large groups of humans to obtain.

                  There has never been a communist state because there can’t be with people involved.

                  state adopts communism

                  But no state has actually adopted communism. Communism as a basis of an economy requires communal ownership of all goods; not state ownership, but communal. Which country has ever done that?

                    The state can also control everything. In which case, China, Vietnam and Cuba.
