  They literally all copied the soviet union’s homework (Marxist-Leninism), there are other theories that haven’t had the chance to be tried. Like Council Communsim, Syndicalism, Libertarian Communism, Anarchism, etc. The failure of Marxist-Leninist countries proves Marxist-Leninism doesn’t work. It doesn’t prove that communism doesn’t work

    The problem is: who is willing to bet their country on an experimental system that could turn out better but could also turn in a totalitarian system?

      Pretty much every revolution in history is that gamble. Plenty of times capitalist democracies have fallen to totalitarianism.

        I guess, my current situation is just not bad enough, to want a revolution.

        But if one of the worse places in this world is gonna implementiert kommunism in a good way, I’ll be there and sign up for it.

    Hmm thank you for your detailed info. And which communism would you perhaps try it out on a country scale?

      I’m an anarcho-communist. I know response to that is you don’t think it’d work on a country scale because people believe you need a government to organize a national system. Syndicalism would be the best, or council communism. Ultimately I think they too run too much of a risk of corruption and totalitarianism, hence why I’m an anarchist. But I do think they’d be less prone to it than any authoritarian communism or even the capitalist systems we have now due to their decentralized nature

        You have seen completely through me, but I didn’t mean to address that part. Every system has its flaws, and it defeats the purpose of my intention to you. I deeply respect that you responded to me (especially since you’re all put together with tankies usually, thus getting an awful rep automatically), I’m just curious about people’s reasons for choosing ideologies that aren’t the norm usually because there’s probably a right reason there. Thank you for this info again! :3

      Why does it need to be tried on a country scale? As a US citizen, unions, co-ops, and communes are a way to have a bit of it but on a very small scale.
