Communism is classless and stateless. Somehow I find it hard to believe when the political class from a given state says they’re communist.
strangely you would think they welcome anarchy, but they dont.
Well yes if communism was actually their goal. The problem with these revolutions is that they never actually end. And they try to govern via revolution as well. All change to the revolution becomes counter-revolution and therefore the enemy. Ultimately making their goal their enemy.
