That’s what it’s called because Stalin enthusiasts somehow dislike the term stalinism, which it is. Marx has nothing to do with it.

Well in the full extend you could read das Kapital, or an abridged version of it.

But the remedy that he seeks is an international uprising against the possessive class and the dissolution of the power of capital. Unfortunately every ‘communist’ state is just an autocratic state role-playing communism. Sometimes with their own monarchy (north Korea) some more oppressive, some outright capitalist (China).

That’s fine if you think that, but it’s not really communism, as defined by Marx.

That’s the point, they are not communist states, just people misusing the name communism

Nah not really. I mean China is clearly blatantly capitalist since Deng Xiaoping. And there was little ownership of the means of production by the prolitariat in Soviet Russia.

So not really communist.

I get it. My point is different. Communism has never been realized, therefore there’s nothing to say about it’s functionality.

They political spectrum has moved so far right in the states that a true centrist position would be considered socialist.
