    Then the end stage of communism, is communism.

    What Stalin did, is the end of communism. What followed was the decline and lack of innovation.

            Niche ideologies are like jokes: if you have to explain it it’s not funny anymore

            My regards to you and all of your arachnid friends

              If by " summarize ideologies in a succinct fashion" you mean “be completely wrong and lack any understanding of the ideology” the sure.

                    Oh, do enlighten me what part of the statement is untrue and start from there. Instead of going to name calling.

                    Anarchism is absolutely part of libertarianism, so that is check one.

                    Ludicrous, because of it’s inherent opposition to structure undermines the idea of a coherent framework of ideals in a society.

              Pack it up, friends. Teslasaur has defeated hundreds of years of anarchist political theory, it’s all over for us.

      no it wasn’t, at least according to marx, who they claimed to follow
      the stage BEFORE communism was the dictatorship of the proletariat, which they decided was extended, and they were representing the will of the people
      so it actually never got to communism

        But it did… and that’s the joke.

        There is no “end stage” communism or capitalism that fits their own purity tests; they are both ideals that we haven’t managed to accomplish as a society, ever.

        So, as far as humanity is concerned, what results in the attempt to reach that ideal is communism/capitalism as we know it (not as we imagine it will be at some point in future).

        All forms of larger scale attempts at communism ends with dictatorship. There is no other practical way to enforce the “correct way” of existing within the human species. Correct according to who? Religion is pretty similar to communism in that way. There is either a God/king that expresses what you are allowed to do, or a written text that is followed at the moral guideline.

        You are talking about capitalism, you mean… they are talking about communism. Nice attempt to control the conversation while admonishing another for attempting to control the conversation, that’s funny, you win a cookie.

        p.s. this is not a one-topic-only discussion, even if you want it to be.
