Cowbee@lemmy.ml 5 months agoI understand, however my non-pedantic point is that the US legal system works against Communism. The US is a firmly anti-Communist project both within and without.
Attempting to bring about Communism is impossible legally because it cannot be voted in, unless you believe it’s possible to simply ask a billionaire to not be.

Technically, it can.
One doesn’t have to ask; under the very same Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment, the legal argument would be, theoretically, that the vast accumulation of wealth and its legal and political ramifications violates the life, liberty, and property of other citizens.
The dissolution of the union and the United States government is also possible with the ratification of 2/3 majority of the states.
