        I’ve been watching a series on the fundamentals of Marxism-Leninism, and see none of that in the theory.

        in the theory

        of course no one includes genocide in their theory but if you try to apply communist theory to reality you’ll end up with it. so instead of looking at theories start looking at reality

          How? What do you know of the theory?

          If something is not part of communist theory, what sense does it make to call it a part of communism?

          And yes, genocidal ideologies do in fact have genocide in their theory. Just read anything written by Hitler or Mussolini.

            every time it was tried communism failed eventually. it always caused oppression and in extreme cases even genocide. it doesn’t really matter what the theory looks like if that’s the reality
