You need to read and understand the the position of Marxist theory before dismissing it. I’m not a Marxist-Leninist, but I understand how they have arrived at the need for state socialism. Depending on circumstances, they may be right.
You dodged all three of my questions. Surely for a worthwhile ideology, you'd be able to do better than "go read" - I've read theory - you haven't made a point.
They bang on about material conditions then defend the state of places like the DPRK. I'm not unsympathetic to state socialism as a transitionary phase, but don't like it because it centralised power to decentralise power, and somehow never seems to reach step 2 - China, DPRK, USSR...
It's dumb because it's a 1 dimensional, reactionary ideology with no meaningful principles, that makes the world and the countries that adopt it worse, and tends to result in genocide. Did I mention it harms actual communism? Why should I take it seriously?
With such erudite analysis, you should start a sub stack or write books to share your knowledge.
Probably beats talking past dipshits that have no point, and are incapable of answering the most basic questions about the topic at-hand.
I know, right? Tell me about.
