    I wouldn’t be using the online version of the history channel. Also communism has no state and therefore no single centralised government.

      That’s Anarcho-Communism, not Marxism.

      Communism in Marxism still has a government, just not what Marx called “the State.” The State, for Marx, is made up of the elements of government that uphold class society, ie Private Property Rights. Central Planning is a core concept of Marxism, and Marxists see administration, elections, councils, and so forth as necessary functions of society.

      I recommend reading Critique of the Gotha Programme

          Yep, I like to talk about gaming and cooking, but the sheer amount of ill-informed takes on Marxism that are entirely unsupported by Marx’s writings is overwhelmingly popular on several Lemmy instances.
