“Today, five countries exist that can be said to be communist: China, Russia”

Tell me you have no idea what you are talking about without directly telling me you have no idea what you are talking about. In what way can today’s Russia “be said to be communist”, and how does its current, very explicitly anti-communist government, contribute to the point you are making?

You can replace Russia with North Korea if it suits you, I forgot to include that one. Yes, the USSR was communist, while modern day Russia much less so. Doesn’t change my point and doesn’t mean I don’t know what I’m talking about.

Modern Russian is a capitalist oligarchy. Your entire position is based on ignorance of how the world functions.

You point out one quasi-mistake I made and all of a sudden my entire position is false and based on ignorance of how the world functions?

People like you are what make the internet a shitty place to be sometimes.

Dude, what you just said is on the level of saying 2+2=5. Or, “like any forms of sandwich, bananas are sentient.” It was THAT level of incorrect and detached from reality.

I once read somewhere that presently no country in the world runs government in the form of 100% true communism including China and Russia. They are just some sort of mixed communism and other types.
