    Communism without actually sharing isn’t communism. Democracy without fair elections isn’t democracy. Socialism without the socialisation of the benefit of production is not socialism. Your ignorance of these things doesn’t change what they are.

      Again, the “the theory when applied doesn’t look like in the book so it’s not real communism”

        No. The theory when applied doesn’t follow the book. The difference is something called contextual nuance, and you have no grasp of it.

        Your position is like North Korea claiming democracy doesn’t work because they say they are one and it’s not working.

            The theory when applied ends up not following the book… I wonder why?

            Because you can’t read, as proven.

            Your position is like North Korea claiming democracy doesn’t work because they say they are one and it’s not working.

            You can continue acting stupid, but in your case I’m not sure it’s an act.

              North Korea’s definitely working. If it didn’t work it would have collapsed. It’s still hell, but a working one

                Is the Democratic Republic Of North Korea a Democracy? Because you’re trying to say yes.

                Like I said, it’s called contextual nuance and you have no grasp of it.

                You can continue acting stupid, but in your case I’m not sure it’s an act.

                  No, it’s not a democracy because it doesn’t even bother following actual democratic principles. It’s just like Napoleon’s idea of democracy: I am the people, therefore if I have absolute power I’m being democratic.

                  Basically Cuba on steroids

                    Exactly, and that’s why everything you’ve ever known as communism and socialism is in exactly the same boat. They didn’t follow the actual communistic or socialist principals. They were all little north Korea pretending to be those things.

        North Korea calls itself democratic. Everyone in the country votes for a new leader every five years. It’s just that there’s only one name on the ballot.

        One would be foolhardy to call that democracy.

        One would be even more foolhardy to argue that this means that democracy is a stupid idea.

        Likewise with socialism.
