"One more experiment, trust me bro"

"Bro another 50 years I promise the state will crumble then, come on just one more state."

That's not really the Marxist argument, the state doesn't "crumble," it withers by being superfluous. In Marxist analysis, the state is an instrument by which the ruling class of society oppresses the others, when production is fully collectivized globally there's no more class to uphold or oppress, and so the tools like a repressive police force also become obsolete. There has never been a period where production has been globally collectivized, so no Marxist would say the conditions for the state withering have been met at any time.

I love that its called that, because marx hated lenin, said 'if this fucker's a marxist, then i am not' and lenin specifically said 'whatever you do,l: do not, under any conditions, put stalin in charge of anything'

To be honest, I have no idea what actually entails in Marxist-Lenenist ideology, I just know that all the MLs I've talked to have been very authoritarian or praised authoritarian regimes.

It's so bad because that's a lot of people exposure to what socialism is. To the point where they think that the "Communist Manifesto" was written by Marx and Lenin... mfs don't actually read anything. Or understand why ML is auth-tankie bullshit.
You wanna read some original communist theory, read the manifesto. Then read the other papers by Marx and Engels..... but if you think ML was a success or the ideal model... you're a fucking moron. -
Marxism-Leninism is the ideology formed in the USSR, and is the current ideology of states like Cuba, Vietnam, and the PRC, it's the hammer and sickle ideology. Specifically, it's Marxism adapted for the era of capitalism as it has reached imperialism and exported most of the contradictions within capitalism to the global south. If you want to get an idea of what it's about, I made an introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list.

It's literately the only socialist experiment that has accomplished great deeds for its citizens in a decade from feudalism to conquering the cosmos and competing with a global superpower that has been dominating the globe before its existence. Utopian socialists have smelled me from a page away and are rushing to downvote me. I already sense the "totalitarian authoritarian dictatorship tankie".

Yup.

I love the smell of overwhelming downvotes on a tankie meme in the morning.
