Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? - eviltoast

I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point

Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down

    Assuming you’re genuinely asking, Communism isn’t so much a “status” as it is a strategy for reaching the famous “Stateless, Classless, Moneyless society” it is often shorthanded as. It involves smashing the existing state, and replacing it with a state-as-non-state, ie a form designed to wither away once global class antagonisms are made redundant.

    Economically, it is centered around collectivization of the Means of Production, Centralization, and Central Planning.

    That sounds like nonsense without reading theory, unfortunately, but if you want something short, Marx’s Critique of the Gotha Programme goes over what a transition to Communism may look like. Lenin’s The State and Revolution also goes over what that looks like, it’s roughly a quarter Marx and Engels quotes and he analyzes how Marx and Engels changed their views after the Paris Commune, and how this change was obscured by Reformists and Opportunists like Kautsky of the Second International.
