You need to read and understand the the position of Marxist theory before dismissing it. I’m not a Marxist-Leninist, but I understand how they have arrived at the need for state socialism. Depending on circumstances, they may be right.

    You dodged all three of my questions. Surely for a worthwhile ideology, you'd be able to do better than "go read" - I've read theory - you haven't made a point.

    They bang on about material conditions then defend the state of places like the DPRK. I'm not unsympathetic to state socialism as a transitionary phase, but don't like it because it centralised power to decentralise power, and somehow never seems to reach step 2 - China, DPRK, USSR...

    It's dumb because it's a 1 dimensional, reactionary ideology with no meaningful principles, that makes the world and the countries that adopt it worse, and tends to result in genocide. Did I mention it harms actual communism? Why should I take it seriously?

    With such erudite analysis, you should start a sub stack or write books to share your knowledge.
