Comment on Imperialism, authoritarianism and oppression is bad all around m'kay
Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 week agoAgain, I have specifically argued against idolization. Did you outright ignore the part where Marx and Engels argued for the usage of a state when building up towards Communism? You admit to having little knowledge of Marxism and Socialist history, yet refuse to learn more.

Only because how it should be implemented differs from how it has been implemented. I’m just saying. There’s nothing wrong with Marxism. There’s something wrong with the people who practice it.
State socialism is soft totalitarianism. There is a non-zero chance that any government that utilizes such a path will succumb to totalitarianism. Thereby making it a flawed system

How should it be implemented in your eyes? You speak in vague, non-Marxist idealism like “soft totalitarianism,” when you should already know better having read Politzer.

It should be implemented the way Marx thought it should. If it still cannot be properly carried out, then Marxism is flawed.
Very funny. Soft totalitarianism is a term i came up with, am proud of, and will continue to use for the foreseeable future.
