Yes, that's why the goal should be to make states obsolete

Very cool argument, very logical and coherent

I would like to hear your examples of it existing.

I'm not sure how you think quoting words that were written before Soviets' massive failure to build anything described in them would help your argument, but sure

Counterpoint: my parents and grandparents lived in the Soviet Union, and I now live in Ukraine, with many of Soviet systems still fresh in memory, if not in place. Priority was not placed in the human service, as much as you want to pretend through rose tinted glasses. The rest of your quote is generalisation of my words that I never said.

Update: oh wait, the fourth point is also blatantly untrue. Soviets literally swallowed a whole host of countries that happened to be occupied by Russian Empire at the time of revolution. Of course they wouldn't need to invade them: the job was already done for them.
