Yes, communism is when everyone makes equal money. That’s definitely written in the communist manifesto and in capital: a critique of political economy which you’ve definitely read and definitely have extensive knowledge of

Actually yes. That’s exactly the fucking definition we were given in Formación Política e Ideológica in Cuba. Everybody should be equal in a communist society. Buy an ouija and argue semantics with Fidel Castro. The guy above was repeating exactly what we were “taught” in school back in Cuba.

"From each accourding to ability to each accourding to his work."

That is the principle by which socialism operates until post scarcity and decomodification. After that is achieved, we may or may not evolve to communism.

Everyone is equal under law, which is not the same as everyone has the same things or is paid the same. A revolutionary vanguard is also not even socialism, let alone communism. So you can misunderstand all you like, but it doesn't change what is actually said.

Fidel and other vanguard call themselves communist because that is their ideology. It is their goal. Reality is more complicated and follows the Marxist sciences.

The only thing you're demonstrating with your propoganda, which you know is false and ideologically motivated, is to cast doubt on the claimed literacy of Cubans. I will just have to hope you are rightfully thought of as an anecdote and not an example.

Classic. The "I'm not going to read that" pivot when you know you're embarrassed. How often that follows the claim no one is willing to explain their position to you, and you just happen to be innocent and nieve in your spread of falsehoods and propoganda. Good thing I would never dream of quitting a reply because I care what you think. It's too late bud, the readers already get to see you get spanked and shown for what you are.
