It's amazing how many times they have failed to implement "true communism".
When the state withers away there's no one to report it and besides you CERTAINLY won't read about it in the NYTimes. For instance, Libya... Libya was a successful direct democracy anarcho-syndicalist dream nation. The most affluent nation in North Africa if not ALL Africa, funding development projects for any AU nation that asked (cutting western businesses entirely out of African Development for the most part...) The workers literally ran the factories and local governments? People's Assemblies. Couldn't have THAT! al-Qaeda and NATO 'fixed' it. Wikipedia: "The Green Book rejects both capitalism and communism, as well as representative democracy. Instead, it proposes a type of direct democracy overseen by the General People's Committee which allows direct political participation for all adult citizens.[7][8] The book states that "Freedom of expression is the natural right of every person, even if they choose to behave irrationally, to express his or her insanity."[9] The Green Book states that freedom of speech is based upon public ownership of book publishers, newspapers, television, and radio stations, on the grounds that private ownership would be undemocratic.[7] A paragraph in the book about abolishing money is similar to a paragraph in Frederick Engels' Principles of Communism.[10] Gaddafi wrote: "The final step is when the new socialist society reaches the stage where profit and money disappear. It is through transforming society into a fully productive society, and through reaching in production a level where the material needs of the members of society are satisfied. On that final stage, profit will automatically disappear and there will be no need for money."[11]" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Green_Book_(Muammar_Gaddafi) The book: <https://www.marxists.org/subject/africa/gaddafi/index.htm> Ps. Let me know when your Libertard friend's 'Paradises' aren't feudal throwbacks to the 16th century complete with 21st century Bushmasters to kill each other, and anybody else, off with.
