    [implementing communism inherently deprives counterrevolution of the capital it needs to function]

    Besides the threat of imperialism from other countries that would make creating a stateless society impossible to do now without it being invaded, you’re making the act of creating communism sound much easier than it actually is, and you’re also downplays the actually threat of counter-revolution as something that can be easily brushed away.

      @Radical_EgoCom @NoiseColor @yogthos the threat of internal counter-revolution actually can be easily brushed away as thoroughly demonstrated by both logic and history: it’s only a significant problem for projects that attempt a “transitional state”.
      History also shows how directly implementing communism doesn’t in itself make the project vulnerable to imperialism, but rather starting too small does.
