Every communist state will fail to achieve communism because a state cannot abolish itself, but don’t try to pretend their failures are an indictment of communism as a whole. If we want communism, we have to get there a different way, through actions that are aligned with our goal. Seizing state power will never work.

And sure, maybe capitalism is working fine for you and your loved ones, but if you’d look outside your bubble, a lot of people are suffering. Insisting that capitalism is the only economic system that works is a bit shortsighted I think. Gift economies might be a better way.
