    That might be true if words had no meaning, but fortunately for us, they do! A communist society is a society that is moneyless, classless, and stateless. Given that most so-called “communist” revolutions ended up seizing state power instead of abolishing it, it’s no wonder why they all failed to achieve communism.

    On the flip side, capitalism is an economic system where the means of production are privately owned. There is disagreement on whether fascism constitutes it’s own economic system, but the fact remains that it has historically emerged from capitalist states in crisis.
