Communism has never been implemented in the manner it was prescribed. I say that as a non-communist.
ImHereToTellYouThatsWrong
Bolsheviks weren't Russians, Weren't Christians, and certainly weren't communists (you can tell, from all the foreign communists they shot)

There is some philosophical and practical distance between Marxism, as in the writings of Marx (and to a lesser extent, Engels) and the...
...theories and practises of Leninist bolshevism, and Stalinism even moreso. They committed awful acts, but they also weren't exactly...
...great at being Marxists under the circumstances either. Incidentally, how many hardcore Leninists are you expecting to find on imgur?

This is only tangentially related to Marxism. This does not indicate anything, except that this man believes the Bolsheviks were awful.
Sigh. The hundreds of millions of deaths last century due to those toxic beliefs isn't enough for you eh?

Marx was against any form of centralized government that owned anything. From the very begining Lenin's Russia wasn't truly marxist.
I'm not a Marxist. But because some people did bad things using Marxism as a shroud is not a valid argument against it.
It's the logical conclusion of the beliefs.
No. That is not a logical conclusion. That is a coincidental association. Please look up "logical fallacy" and familiarize yourself.
Sigh. If hundreds of millions of ppl murdered in the name of collectivism doesn't satisfy you, nothing will. Goodnight.
If you want proof Marxism can work, look at one of the hippie communes still around from the 60s. Marxism CAN work small scale. 1/2

Ok. But it can't be applied to nation states. And it can't be applied to society, gender or race.
Right, it works for small communities of less than 250. which incidently is the size tribe which the human brain is best adapted for.
Interesting. Unfortunately I don't think we can put the genie back in the bottle. Cities are only gonna get larger.
of everyone under his command, and get to know them a little bit 2/2
A military Company is generally around 250 or less, because it's the largest scale where an officer can be expected to learn the name 1/2
