    I think theoretically communism requires a society with no state, but I think historically a vanguard party has come in and said “yeah we will do bureaucracy for a while and then dissolve the state” aaaaaand now you have a dictator and stazi and gestapo and thought crimes and a gulag. Oops 😋

      So… You’re describing how they blatantly didn’t practice communism to… defend the continued use of the word to define them?
      I don’t think you’re making the point you think you’re making… 🙄🤦‍♀️

      (to be clear: trying to achieve communism, and actually doing it are very different things, and if you end up with an authoritarian regime, you’ve not achieved communism, no matter what you call it, it really isn’t complicated)
