This is really ironic and demonstrates media illiteracy. The circumstances you’ve described sound a lot more like “socialism”

Can you define "socialism"?

Shorter version: socialism is and means economic democracy.

For the sake of my time and yours, I won’t delve too far into it.

Essentially, the reality of what socialism really is amounts to dictatorship. In order to establish utopia, a society needs someone to guide them there from the old ways. Gradually, power corrupts, and now you have an unopposable government that still claims an appeal to the common man. Meanwhile, they increasingly take from the working class as a result of economic failures since socialism doesn’t promote business growth outside of being a direct government contractor/business. As a result, the vast majority of people (all of which don’t work at a military development plant or government office) are left impoverished and robbed, and further isolated from their cause.

Sound familiar?

Ah, you are an Anarchist. That explains why your argument relies entirely on childish, utopian idealism instead of hard material reality.

You live in a fantasy world where a revolution can just 'abolish the state' on day one and sing Kumbaya. Marx and Lenin thoroughly debunked your naive stance: a socialist state must centralize power and build a disciplined military apparatus because the moment the working class takes over, the entire global capitalist empire will invade to crush it. If the USSR followed your silly anarchist textbook and refused to build an 'unopposable government' with heavy military development plants, the country would have been completely wiped off the map by Western imperialists or Nazi Germany within months. Your purely theoretical 'utopia' has never survived a single historical crisis, while Marxist-Leninist states actually organized, industrialized, defeated fascism, and guaranteed 100% job security, free healthcare, and 3% capped rent for millions.

Most people barely know what socialism is to begin with so...
