>>14269462>its power grabbing goalthis should be obvious but sometimes it's not so i will elaborate
the whole goal of communism is to end private property and usher into a bee-hive like paradise where people produce for the purpose of consoooming, and the goal of socialism is to socialize the "means of productions" (ignore the arbitrariness of this term), socialism is the middle between capitalism and communism
to socialize every single means of production however, the communists must first acquire more power and control in order to trump the "bourgeoisie" power and control, they must also have more military power than all the governments combined, and of course more control over culture and society than any other institution (otherwise the workers seem to refuse the promised revolution), hence communism is fundamentally the exercise of acquiring as much power as possible over the people by a group of individuals (usually the communist party), evidently this leads to dictatorships, which are brushed off in the future as "failed experiments".
communism requires the absence of any state though (and even of any hierarchy technically), but socialism eventually requires a one world State (since due to the problem of economic calculation in socialism, communist projects can never work in any scale, but socialists like to give the excuse of lack of capitalism, i.e. embargos, as the reason for why socialist "regimes" always end up in misery and poverty after resources runs out, so a one world government gets rid of this "problem"). You can see the contradiction right? The result is just a totalitarian State that crumbles down after economic laws kick in (yes price controls do not work and will never work)
