I’m happy you do, others might not be so wise

I guess politics is a touchy topic for some.

I don’t know why you are insinuating I’m:

1. Agreeing with the original commenter (OC)
2. Communist

I was just attempting to clear up what OC was getting at, no need to get all worked up over it.

To answer your questions.

1. The USSR never achieved what I understand to be communism
2. I understand it’s uncommon to actually comprehend what political terms mean, heck I struggle quite a bit, but that’s why all who read the definitions must, as politely as possible, spread to others what they learnt. In this case what Harris should have said is a dictator period, at most a capitalist one.

Feel free to point out anything I might have gotten wrong, cheers

I guess what @degen@midwest.social is trying to point at is that worker’s don’t truly control the government and so when the current government seizes the means of production it’s closer to a change of hands between different groups of capitalists than anything envisioned by communists.

I’d also like to say that although the government has “seized” 10% of Intel shares for example it has no control over Intel’s decisions. Those shares only provide dividends.
