this, exactly. That the communism site is being sold to the highest bidder is karma, just like the oppressive action of capitalism driving escapism into communism is.
the raw reality is that neither pure communism nor pure capitalism will work.
Then maybe instead of calling it “communism”, we should call each version something that reflects the actual system and not the end goal? “Vanguardism” maybe?

What on Earth is “pure communism?” Or “pure Capitalism?”
Pure communism = A stateless, moneyless, classless society. Not simply whatever we’re doing to try to get there.
Pure capitalism = Anarcho-capitalism gives way to its final form, Arachno-capitalism.
I think the obsession with “purity” is just dogmatism, though. Systems are what they are, not some form of pure distilled ideology.

We already call “Marxism-Leninism,” well, Marxism-Leninism, which includes both the system and the end goal.
Fair enough. I’ll start just calling it that instead of “communism”.
Distilled and filtered three times, of course
It needs to be repeatedly mixed with water until it’s effectively just water. But the spiritual essence of the system will magically remain
Of course, I forgot that Political Economy is the same as alcohol, lol
