    You dodged all three of my questions. Surely for a worthwhile ideology, you’d be able to do better than “go read” - I’ve read theory - you haven’t made a point.

    They bang on about material conditions then defend the state of places like the DPRK. I’m not unsympathetic to state socialism as a transitionary phase, but don’t like it because it centralised power to decentralise power, and somehow never seems to reach step 2 - China, DPRK, USSR…

    It’s dumb because it’s a 1 dimensional, reactionary ideology with no meaningful principles, that makes the world and the countries that adopt it worse, and tends to result in genocide. Did I mention it harms actual communism? Why should I take it seriously?
