Maybe it will.

Here's the problem, though. We are still missing major technological and social changes necessary to make Communism work. Things like Post Scarcity, Full Automation, and possibly even a shift in the perception of morality by the general public. Without these things, demanding that we try to implement Communism tomorrow is irresponsible and dangerous. It's like demanding that Feudalist Europe switch to capitalism long before the necessary functions that enabled capitalism like high guild membership, increasingly valuable labor, lordships uniting into nations, and a reformed church permitting usury started to come around.

Maybe someday your FULLY AUTOMATED CIRCLEJERK will come into fruition. I don't know much about humans as social creatures and what kind of cognitive shift we are capable of. But as someone who actually fucking knows what he's talking about when it comes to both the science and economics of automation, I can tell you that the crucial element of Post Scarcity is not going to happen anytime soon.

That's not even why I despise communist groups. They basically sit and argue about how they hate the way the world works and wish it worked differently, sure, but at the end of the day it's those people, who decide there must be a better way, that move us forward as a society.

My issue is Ideological Purity. It has to be communism today. Right here, right now, no exceptions, no compromises. And that makes it dangerous. Unwillingness to embrace practical limits to the idea that you have can cause people to go insane and make atrocious decisions in the name of their ideological purity. Because they would sooner risk plunging a nation into conflict that could potentially result in State Capitalism, than have to go fifty-fifty on their ideology. Because compromise is seen as nothing more than a victory for the Right Wing, which is erroneous. And being vocal about your refusal to compromise only tells the Liberals that they don't need to listen to you since you'll never agree to any compromises they try to form. Instead they'll work on making agreements between the pluralities of the nation to form something that the majority can support, like a Democracy, and the commies will throw a fit about class consciousness, because the only way to be smart is to agree with them, and the only way someone could possibly disagree is if they are either a bourgie or if they are brainwashed. Then they'll say reform doesn't work and they need a revolution, further justifying the liberals in not listening to them, and further justifying the commies in refusing to participate. It's a self perpetuating cycle brought on by refusal to be a member of a democracy.

You repeatedly do everything you can to alienate yourself from the majority of the populace, and then have the gall to complain that democracy doesn't work when you don't get your way.

    That's a very personalized perception of conflicts that are social and systemic.

    Yes, yes it is.

    What, do you want a cookie for pointing out the obvious? I have a bias! Holy shit!

    I even admitted that I don't know much about the social inhibitions to communism.
