Nice red herring you got there, except that's never been anyone's argument as to why the attempts at communism ended up becoming totalitarian.
Thanks for proving you don't even bother to understand the arguments.
Only dip shits think communism requires a totalitarian state. It's almost like there are multiple systemic problems beyond just capitalism that contributed to the failure of prior attempts. Nice try misrepresenting my argument there. Thanks for proving my point that y'all don't even try to understand it.
Communism is stateless. It requires an absence of state. Not just non-totalitarian. Previous attempts failed for the same reasons most states fail. They're states.
I think you're mistaken. In my anecdotal experience, that is the #1 reason people give for things like Communism not working.
