    I didn’t say socialist, I said communist. You and I are both aware that you know the difference.

    I’ve better things to do than argue with someone relying on such basic bullshit as shifting the goalposts so obviously.

      Communism is a stateless, classless, moneyless society, there has never been a society that has reached that mode of production. There are socialist countries led by communist parties, which is why I answered like I did. Either you’re talking about fictional communist societies, or you’re referring to socialist countries run by communist parties, so I picked the better-faith option and answered your question with corrected terms.

      I’d rather not just dismiss your point outright and take an easy victory by pointing out that you got terminology mixed up, but instead answer your point as you meant it. If that’s what you consider “moving the goalpost,” then I don’t think you were ever interested in discussion to begin with.
