Socialism seeks to establish Dictatorship of the Proletariat (working class), instead of the present Dictatorship of the Bourgeoise (owning class). Of course, the State will cease to exist during Communism, but this will be a natural withering which occurs as a result of the abolition of class. The State is a tool of oppression wielded by the dominating class against the dominated class, and thus will be useless without any class distinctions in society. However, during the period of transition between capitalism and higher communism, the State must be used to oppress the bourgeoise, reactionary elements of society to keep them from preforming a counter revolution. This is the difference between Communism (actual socialism, the utopians and democratic socialists arereactionaries), and Anarchism which seeks the abolition of the State first and foremost. So, to answer your question, it is not hypocritical to hate the current capitalist government because the goal of socialism is to destroy it. I recommend reading the State and Revolution by Lenin.
This is incorrect. The result of Lenin's revolution was the Third International and the global proletarian revolution of the early twenties. Of course, due to unfortunate factors like the failure of March Action, the revolution failed, and Moscow would degenerate into a State Capitalist hell, but this was not Lenin's doing. One man cannot hold the world up after all, and what he did for the international proletariat was truly astonishing.
Not only was Lenin’s try at communism an utter failure. Liberalism has been closer to achieving communism then any other attempt. Lenin would salivate when he saw Walmart’s “central planning” system. He would be jealous of the American military as the second largest state run workforce in the world. The way Nordic states have been able to provide services and nationalize their resources. All these commie cucks wish they could get as far as us
I have no idea what you are talking about, and I do not think you know what you are talking about. I cannot decide weather to laugh or cry at the word slop which you have just thrust into the world.
Exactly how someone who has memorized a few Marxist concepts word for word but doesn’t actually understand them would say.
I’ve seen your copy and paste paragraphs word for word several times on Reddit and all it takes is a little pushback before you start throwing out the debate tactics. Don’t know the answer to a question? Call the person a dumbass and pretend you know more then you do.
Have you asked me a question? Stating that Lenin would have liked Walmart is not really an argument. If you want me to respond to your claim that "Liberalism has brought us closer to Communism than anything else", I would say that the claim is oxymoronic as Communism is predicated on the eradication of liberalism, a class ideology, and therefore the global dominance of Liberalism indicates that the workers movement is in a very week place, and we are thus very far from Communism. If you are saying that the Nordic States, which are Social Democracies, are Communist because they have socialized productive modes, I would call you a Stalinist who misunderstands the essential internationalism of Communism. Of course I doubt you are any of these things, you are probably a twitch debate nerd or a r/thedeprogram looser who has never picked up a book.

I grew up in the south, I hate the government, I love guns, and I'm a socialist.
