    Do not misunderstand me, I would salute a better communist/socialist system today than tomorrow, but this is heavenly music today, impossible to carry out in a globalized world. As much as you reject it, it is not possible to live in a communist system, while it is not globalized. What we must fight against is this minority that hoards 90% of the goods of this world and decides on our destiny and usefulness. Communism is an evolutionary process to reach it, all who tried it prematurely independent of other countries have failed miserably, leading the population to misery, because all these systems were corrupted by neo-liberalism. That is why we have to start with the fundamentals and one of them is to return sovereignty to the people and in today’s world to return to the principles of capitalism, cooperatives are a step towards tackling monopolies. It’s a nice illusion of living without capitalism, but look around and reflect on how much of these things around you, you had without capitalism, we probably couldn’t even discuss it now from different places on the globe. There is no need to mention Marx and the fall in profits, since this is the result of the aforementioned market policy, which is always a bubble that ends up bursting at regular intervals, often ending in a war. But profits do not fall, those who earn a golden nose are the ones who caused this bubble, the consequences are paid by the people not these. This has been the case throughout history, because we always have the same two-legged pigs as the ones in charge.

      ‘Do not misunderstand me, I would salute a better communist/socialist system today than tomorrow, but this is heavenly music today, impossible to carry out in a globalized world.’

      You make no sense with these posts. ‘Today than tomorrow’? What is that supposed to mean?

      ‘As much as you reject it, it is not possible to live in a communist system, while it is not globalized.’

      Strawman. When did he ever say this? You do realize Karl Marx addressed this in his books with a path to Communism?

      ‘But profits do not fall’

      He literally just demonstrated profits falling to be the case. I’m not sure what you’re getting at.

        In short, one thing is to support and desire socialism and another is to achieve it. Although I support these ideals, on the front line I am realistic. We must start with ourselves and adapt our social behavior and our consumer habits, only then can we change something in this sick system. You cannot make an apology for communism, surrounded by articles that base their origin on plunder and exploitation. Saying and wishing is one thing, acting accordingly is another. This is much more complex than wearing Che on a T-shirt, made in Taiwan, and all political ideologies in today’s globalized and multi-layered world require a review and update so that it can really work. Neither of these alone cannot work, as has been shown many times in history, even in recent history when he was running as a young man, with policemen behind, in demonstrations in the 1960s.

          ‘In short, one thing is to support and desire socialism and another is to achieve it.’ And why would you randomly bring this up in a comment section which clearly does not require such? You’re picking at a scab that doesn’t exist to borrow a phrase from this website.

          ‘Although I support these ideals, on the front line I am realistic.’ Oh no, another nihilist talking point. ‘I’m realistic’ has to be the ‘I want the whole world to die’ of argumentation. Being realistic doesn’t mean you can’t shoot for the stars in this world. I am suspecting you are some sort of ‘Communist’ saboteur at this point.

          The rest of what you say has either nothing to do with anything or sounds like you’re talking down to all of us like we’re 8 years old. We get it. It’s a globalized world. It didn’t stop China from continuing to be a market socialist state.
