Dialectical and Historical Materialism

[Marxism and the National Question] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/149059065X/ref=rdr_ext_sb_ti_sims_2)

It's a popular argument on the internet that "communism has never been tried."

This is wrong. Communism has been attempted. Clearly, the largest attempt was not successful. Still, emerging governments all over the world attempt to create communist governments. In many cases, despite its failures, the theoretical outline of a communist government allows for the strongest case of independence from the largest ruling/imperial/colonial powers on earth (IE the united states). For this reason, people will continue to attempt to create communist influenced governments.

Edit: You don't seem to understand that I'm giving you an out here. I'm basically making every argument for you that you can still hold right political beliefs and not be default a nazi. I'm even fucking pointing out the history of anti-semitism in the communist party. I'm pointing out problems that communist governments have caused.

I'm not even trying to justify people like Chavez. I'm not bringing up that health care was universal under the soviets. I'm not talking about how Chavez oversaw the development of the best AIDS treatment program in the developing world. I'm not bringing up that his model was adopted practically all over the planet as the most affordable and effective plan for AIDS treatment.

All I'm trying to do is get you to understand that the Nazis were on the right. I'm not saying you're a Nazi. I've made the case for you to still hate progressives and communists and Marxists. All I'm trying to do is to get you to understand how the political compass is laid out. That's it.
