      Lenin was actually capitalist libertarian, they won’t tell you that in the history books written by rotten western imperialists but it’s true. You should read The Communist Manifesto.

        Been working my way through Richard Wolfe stuff first, then I’ll work on the classics. If Wolfe says USSR was state capitalism, then he’s a liberal too.

          I’m totally ignorant here, but uh… Isn’t the point of communism to I close state capitalism?

          Communism is not Marxism, which afaik really has never been implemented.
