No modern Communist academic nor Marx himself spoke in these terms. You're projecting history onto ideology, which doesn't always work. The Marxist students being persecuted by China this year would very much disagree with your analysis, even having experienced this 'communism'.
- v_lisivka 8y agoFirst, you are mismatching communism ideology with transition from capitalism to communism. If somebody want to rule a country, he must use violence to beat previous government, no matter what is said in a book. Second, you are mismatching theory with practice.

Practice is informed by theory, and theory is informed by practice. A glance at Marxist literature would show this.
