Not as creepy as the Epstein stuff.

The bar is at the bottom of the Kola Superdeep Borehole and he just managed to get over it through the Mariana trench.

I worked for Google Ads support for a while and even this dumbed down system completely stumped so many fucking people.

God I hate advertising and advertisers so much.

These useless fucking cunts wanted every feature imaginable, setup for free, with no effort of research done from them.

That job made me hate taxi drivers so much.

What other movements have succeeded at all? Why do you think Marxists generally are made up of MLs?

It's almost like some Mario-mustache-ass pedophile resented other socialist movements for threatening his order.

I am honestly tired, you people all peddle the same nonsense talking points and link the same shitty books and essays.

MLs have not had an independent thought since the early 20th century and it really fucking shows.

Marx's State specifically referred to the elements of government that enforce class dynamics, like Private Property Rights. Marx was fully in favor of government, just not the State.

You're shadowboxxing again, I never mentioned the state/government distinction.

Completely pointless either way since the USSR was not state abolitionist.

In what manner? If you eliminate market competition, Capital accumulation, and the necessity for profit, then you have fundamentally moved beyond Capitalism. The CPSU did not compete against each other and pocket vast amounts of profits, and the Soviets were run democratically. It's fundamentally and entirely different

Because competition isn't what creates class disparity, the problem is the ownership and control part, which was entirely reserved for members of the party.

Because the party, which was controlled from the top down had complete economic and political control over the system, it essentially just replaced the ruling class of old.

Yes, the competition was mostly removed but the class structure stayed basically the same.

So then the USSR was Socialist, after all. The Soviet Union was based on Soviet Democracy, worker councils with elected delegates. There was corruption, and there were inner-power conflicts, but the structure overall was Socialist.

The Soviets never went away.

But there was no worker control of these institutions, they were entirely controlled from the top down by party officials.

If there were elections they were a sham, basically nothing else than virtue signaling to the values the communist party supposedly had but in practice despised.

There's no strawman here, you claimed that the agents of the state functioned as the bourgeoisie, and I asked how they replicated the functions of the bourgeoise, the necessary components of which include competition and production for individual profit. The lack of those means it cannot be considered Capitalist.

I don't need to reply to this for the 759th time.

I suggest reading Critique of the Gotha Programme, it might help you get a clearer understanding of the transition to Communism in Marx's own words

MLs flipping a coin on if they should tell someone to read Critique of the Gotha Programme or On Authority today.
