    I can try flying without a plane and then claim it wasn’t real flying when I fail

      It wasn’t real flying, though… literally! You just made my own point better than I could. Lmao.

        I haven’t made you any point

          Yes, because it wasn’t flying! To fly, a human needs tools, like a plane, helicopter or hang glider. Then you can achieve real flight. Just like real communism requires class consciousness and a proletariat willing to lead themselves in revolution to abolish capitalism, the state and class.

          I see no possible way to interpret your statements as anything other than proving my point that things can only be achieved a certain way.

            Again, I claim I will fly without a tool, I don’t, then I claim it wasn’t real flight to shift the blame away from the fact that it’s impossible for a human to fly without tools

              Oh I see. So you’re now just claiming it’s impossible for people to get out of oppression? We must forever be under the yoke of capital?

              Plenty of evidence indicates societies have, many times, managed to exist without state or hierarchy.

              So no, not impossible. It just has to be done without hierarchy and state. If it has those, it’s not communism.

              If you want to engage in this conversation honestly, your next move is to prove it is impossible to live without hierarchy :)

                Yes, prehistoric societies have existed without a state… Wonder why it stopped being that way

                Also, capitalism is extremely recent, yet you claim it has existed since fucking antiquity

                Whatever, you fuckers are even worse than Jehovah’s witnesses

                  Do you really wonder? Because there are answers to that, easily found. States are created by authoritarians who wish to have control over others.

                  And I think you oight to go back to reading children’s books, because I never said capitalism existed in antiquity.

                  You’re making this too easy now by just lying.
