but stating that “communism isn’t the solution long term” makes no sense. Do you understand the distinction?

I feel this is like syamtics. Anarchist are socialists as well. but if some told me "I dont think anarchy is the way foward"

I dont think it would be fair for me to say to " no you mean socialism, Anarchy is the Goal! not the current situation"

It doesnt make sense to think that communism isnt the solution? This makes me feel like communists are unable to have real discussion with anarchists about the flaws within communism.

I feel anarchy is the only real way to gaurentee long term that people will be continually liberated. I think that any real hierarchical system will enventually turn back into a police state. We saw this in the USSR. And we see in in the CPC too.

They once had revolutionary components which I support. But those begin to dwindle the minute they took power and likey before.

From the origins of revolutionary communism came a police state. How do MLs deal with the flaws shown in The USSR? By saying that it wasn't communist?

This is what I mean when I say i dont think communism is the solution long term. That communists governments have a tendency to turn toward police states. Call it what you want but lenin was a marxist from my understanding and marxist are considered communists. Right?
