On the contrary, I’m trying to make it more practical in order to show you that “real” communism doesn’t exist anywhere except in theory.
In the real world, you almost always end up with a mixture of both socialism and free market capitalism. In fact, FOSS has done a great job showing that commercial success is possible without putting the profit motive first, even in a primarily capitalist environment.
FOSS is a rejection of Capitalism, the success of FOSS is the success of leftism.
Real Communism of course hasn't existed yet, even if a Socialist state existed at the time of Marx, Communism still likely wouldn't exist. It can only exist globally, and after far more industrialization and automation has occurred. Socialism, ie democratization of production via worker ownership, is absolutely feasible.
You've done nothing but prove everyone else here correct, you don't actually know what you're talking about and reflexively take a contrarion position to anything leftist, without actually thinking it through.
Okay, I get it, you're just going to keep spouting propaganda material no matter what I say.
Okay, I get it, you're just going to keep dodging and refusing to make an actual point no matter what I say.
