Oh dear this is going to need some serious corrections
These countries are no Socialist .They aren't communist either .They were state capitalist
God these are some awful definitions you copy and pasted from
Fascist Italy had race laws and treated the non white people in it's North African holdings as second class citizens .It also maintained laws against Sicilians And Italy engaged in ethnic cleansing during the war . And Spain had Anti Semitic legislation made as early as 1938 ,
Fascist Spain treated racial minorities in Spain as second class citizens and treated the non white people of it's moroccan holdings as second class citizens . Not to mention Franco fully accepted he idea of international Jewry the same as Hitler and despite what he would later claim he help the nazi's catch Jews and send them to occupied france .Franco also rolled back protections for Jews
Fascist Portugal treated racial minorities in Portugal as second class citizens and many of it's colonial laws were racist .
1. I didn't say there wasn't variety
2.No country really even tried
3. Stalin had Trotsky killed not over ideology but because Stalin feared Trotsky influence
4. Lastly i never said there was no disagreement

Quote:Communism is a Marx concept of a utopia. It says that the public have equal shares in companies whose profits are equally dividedNo it's not . Communism is worker ownership of the means of production and it's not utopian as Marx made it clear struggle is needed
Quote:This is basically what i was trying to say, each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs. Its Marx's utopiaThat's not utopian and nowhere does it say everyone gets the same so no your still wrong
Definition - Basically, communism proposes a society in which everyone shares the benefits of labor equally, and eliminates the class system through redistribution of on income.
Quote:Definition - A communist society is characterized by common ownership of the means of production with free access to the articles of consumption and is classless and stateless, implying the end of the exploitation of labour.This is again wrong it's not common ownership it's WORKER ownership of the means of production .
Quote:Definition - a theory or system of social organization in which all property is owned by the community and each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needsNote nowhere does it say everyone gets the same and community does though again thy confuse community with workers ownership
God these are some awful definitions you copy and pasted from

I think we have to deal with these leftist ideologies almost as we deal with Christianity: there is huge variety within them, and no one agrees on what the "real" version consists of.
Fighting among different branches of communists has been about as vicious as commies vs. others. I saw the room in Mexico where Trotsky was killed -- you can still see the icepick marks from where his former colleagues assassinated him.
So for example a lot of commies would say that no country has ever achieved communism. The Soviet Union maybe tried, but failed. The others ended up with various kinds of oligarchies or top-down rule. Certainly the workers' utopia that Marx wanted has never existed. It may be that the failure of all the attempts means that such a utopia is impossible, but that's not really something we can know for sure. (I like to joke that perfect communism is possible if you have a group of only 13 people, and one of them is Jesus.)
Apparently Marx said, "I am not a Marxist," meaning that even in his lifetime what people were doing in his name didn't have his approval.
I suspect that in ideologies as in religion, some people are not willing to accept that there are variations. The OP wants to claim that Christianity is only a certain way -- the way he wants to criticize. Maybe Sungula wants to make similar claims about communism -- he KNOWS what it is. But there will be lots of commies who call themselves commies who refuse to accept any checklist of things we write up for them.
