I'm sorry, and I want to continue this conversation, but I need to start by pointing out how stupid this response is. "If you wanna build a communist society to counter a capitalist one, why do you plan on starting it in a capitalist country." Let me just begin with the fact that everyone has to start somewhere. Arguing that people need to start completely from scratch is a part of the problem. You can't, not in a world where everyone depends on capitalism because, incase you looked outside, guess what, the global economy is capitalist. Even communist countries aren't actually communist, everything is capitalist. And instead of dreading on what I can't so and what I don't have, I focus on what I do and what I can because I care about making a difference and better world for people? NO ONE can start from totally scratch, but we can start SOMEWHERE. And that is what I, and every other commune in the world is trying to do rn. We put in the effort to do it because that's what you need to do. Anyways,
