Wow, coming from "Radical Centrist", I am very impressed. You are correct of course. We are now headed full steam ahead towards worldwide totalitarian communism.

    What do you mean? They ARE the government. The figureheads in office are just their highest ranking servants.

      I even mentioned in the OP that the Soviets collapsing actually created a stigma against Communism or wealth redistribution.

      We live in a world that is clearly hyper-capitalist. All the BLM and Gay flag merchandise you see are inventions of the 1%. They make huge profits off of identity politics, and liberals are the useful idiots that don't see the irony in this.

      You don't understand. Communism was never about equality. It was always about creating a class of super-rich, super-powerful using equality as a propaganda tool to achieve that. If you think for one moment that Stalin or Krushtschev lived poorly, you are so very misinformed. What about Mao? Xi Jinping? No?

      It was always about redistributing wealth from the many to the few. Oh, look at the West in the 2020s, that's not at all what's happening. Right?

      Yes, the West uses corporations. Huge difference. Well, actually, no.

        Thanks for clarifying this. I know, in all communist countries, wealth inequality was extreme.

        You do not need to thank him for that, because that is still not correct. Communist elites had access to luxury commodities and housing, cars, etc but they did not possess wealth or ownership of anything. There is no communist equivalent to the type of wealth inequality that exists between the average person and Jeff Bezos, for example.

          No problem.
