Communism isn’t about exegesis. It’s not about who understands the source texts or believes in the correct unadulterated virgin idea. There are many schools of communism and they have all changed with history in some way.

Lmao source please? For the church/zealots-part. Also I don’t think you understood the concept of the dictatorship of the proletariat and the way Marx uses language to get his point across. Maybe you should read more secondary literature?

Lost of syndicalists see themselves as communists. Including myself. I’ve been on the board, on the administration team and the negotiatiok team for my syndicalist union. All communism isn’t leninism.

I’m just happy to be here. I care less and less about reddit. Using lemmy and mastodon for a while, it’s gotten more and more important to me to just build a great, fun, healthy community and less important (emotionally) to bring down the giants.

Picard is a real quote machine. The one closest to my heart is:

Captain Jean-Luc Picard : There’s no greater challenge than the study of philosophy.

Wesley Crusher : But William James won’t be on my Starfleet exams.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard : The important things never will be. Anyone can be trained in the mechanics of piloting a starship.

Wesley Crusher : And Starfleet Academy…

Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Takes more. Open your mind to the past - art, history, philosophy. And all this may mean something.
