Revolutionary communism is bunk for this reason. No society has ever improved through an abrupt, unmoderated change. So there are no positive examples of a "fully transformed" revolutionary socialist society ala the USSR / China. But Marxism can also be a tool for a systematic, analytical learning about social problems and addressing them in a deliberative (aka democratic), gradual fashion. In that concept, there can be no example of a fully developed socialist society because the target social form permanently evolves - it follows the Marxist material dialectic dynamic, but lacks the idea of pursuing an ultimate, fixed goal. It would be like asking "where is your example of a perfectly working justice", knowing very well that no system of justice is perfect on any level, but ignoring the critical work being done on reconciling the issues of current justice systems, as well as the obvious importance of justice in general.

As Hegel said, it's impossible to know where the dialectic process of social change will take you, but it happening, and one can only attempt to do his best to steer it using the correct approach.

As much as Commies pretend to be champions of the worker, why are, like, none of them good at working?

They're all like, poets with sadbrains and bullshit like that. They're all the Lumpenproletariat and none of them wanna admit it. They can't actually do any work, but they wanna be commies so the work is done for them. They want to be taken care of, because the "each according to his need" really speaks to them.

If communism really is inevitable, you shouldn't even need a revolution anyway and society will naturally evolve towards socialism. </ramsaymacdonald>

I like babies, thread. I realize this might be an unpopular opinion, but I think it needs to be said. THEY ARE FULL OF WONDER, THREAD. SO FULL OF WONDER.

Babies are only entertaining if you're related to them. Unless they pee or throw up on someone at an inopportune time. Then they're pretty alright.

This is what a baby is for, I'm pretty sure.

You registered in 2010, so presumably you aren't 13 years old, which makes no sense.
