True communism is stateless and moneyless, that hasnt been achieved.

Idolising anyone is a bad idea. If you want to worship something, it has to be inherently greater than you.

Marxism and social conflict go hand-in-hand. Then and now, just needed a little xtra socialness added...

Karl Marx was an idiot.

Utter and complete BS.

Communism relies on a single assumption: take away anything and everything that makes a human being human (ambition, desire, needs and wants etc etc) and the system will work.

Unless you can satisfy that assumption the system will not work.
And because that assumption is impossible to satisfy (unless you have millions of lobotomised semi-autonomous drones to serve as the workforce of your perfect, classless society), communism is just as equally impossible to achieve.

The practice of it however is another story.
And the fact that any single attempt to create a society inspired by Marx has brought nothing but misery and untold sufferings (and deaths) wherever it was tried should really teach us all a lesson

don't let tankies see this they'll talk your ears off about how it was actually capitalism who prevented communism from reaching it's true potential

Is equivalent to idolizing Hitler. Karl Marx was a racist, and his philosophies gave way to a political system responsible for the deaths of millions under Stalin and Mao.

Marx wrote a thesis, Hitler subverted a whole nation and sent it spiraling into its downfall while murdering millions of people as a state policy, how exactly are they the same?

"From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs."

Communism doesn't forbid private property, it just forbids anyone owning the means of production. The factory is communal, the house is yours.

What if I want to work from home?

I haven't heard that name for 45 years. We know why communism died, he didn't understand human nature.
