    failed attempts

    They didn’t fail. I mean you can criticize the ussr, but it was not capitalist

    which were sabotaged by capitalists

    What a weird thing to say. The USSR had sovereign control over the largest country in the world by far + a lot of allies. The capitalists can’t even get rid of north Korea. Its not the capitalists, the system is just shit

    the need to rebel is the problem

    I mean its fine to rebel, but if your goal is communism I will bet on another case of “tHatS nOT rEaL coMMUnIsM”

            Ok, can you “educate” me why I need to get rid of my private property?

            And fascists practiced economic policies of “corporatism”, not capitalism

                The possession of personal property can’t earn you any money

                If I understand it correctly my laptop and 3d printer, are private property since I can make money with those…

                    I’m not sure if thats required here, but it’s totally possible without asking for government permission

                    Edit: i might be wrong here because of “legal speak” language barrier, but if I understand correctly you can make money from your business as a regular person just fine (legally). There’s just a limit on how much you can earn before needing yo register as a business

        Communism doesn’t include a hierarchy of power enforced by violence

        Very convenient, since nothing will ever meet this standard, so you will be able to say “that’s not communism” for the rest of your life. Actually sounds like the definition on anarcho capitalism

        The two concepts are antithetical

        Maybe to you, but many of the people in power at the time believed they were on the way to communism

        USSR was somewhere between capitalism and fascism

        I know of two common definitions of capitalism: “a system mostly organized around a profit-motive” and “a system in which individuals are mostly free to enter into consensual contracts”. I don’t see how the USSR is close to either of these. It was closer to fascism, tho there are also large differences

            the atrocities of the system that keeps you fat and happy.

            You misunderstand. That is not capitalism but CRONY-capitalism. The two concepts are anrithetical. In REAL capitalism everyone respects the non-agression principle and therefore everyone is free. Crony capitalism is actually the LEAST capitalist system and is closer to socialism, because the government does stuff. I am very smart
