    Communist can run a society that is not yet achieved communism. Not sure if you’re being purposely dense or not.

    Also, currency does not define a society as capitalist. We’ve have currency long before capitalism ever existed.

        To be clear, primitive Communism and Marxian Communism are just about polar opposites, one is the smallest unit of society and the other the largest and most vast, one full decentralization the other full centralization.

          the core “from those who have to those who need” is still in common, and it is a form of classless stateless society, even if it doesn’t really scale and we can’t get back there from here.

          plus, there are alternatives to marx. he wasn’t infallible.

            That isn’t the “core,” of Communism. It’s more of a side-effect and possibility only truly achievable in Upper-Stage Communism.

            There are alternatives to Marx, but I’m not convinced of any of them.
