That's fine if you think that, but it's not really communism, as defined by Marx.
That's the point, they are not communist states, just people misusing the name communism
How does Marx define communism?
Well in the full extend you could read das Kapital, or an abridged version of it.
But the remedy that he seeks is an international uprising against the possessive class and the dissolution of the power of capital. Unfortunately every 'communist' state is just an autocratic state role-playing communism. Sometimes with their own monarchy (north Korea) some more oppressive, some outright capitalist (China).
yes, and what is a post-revolution state supposed to do while waiting for the rest of the world?
For one all 'communist' fiefdoms around the world could unite, instead of ruling their own pseudo monarchies. Not a single one of them would set aside their power in favor of a true revolution.
"fiefdoms"??? Do you hear yourself speak lol
