I have received a lot of hate for this exact thought but I absolutely stand by it.

I'm not even saying the "souffle" is the problem. Socialism absolutely could be a great system. There are plenty of ways of reaching a "socialist state". But we have to acknowledge that a socialist state has a **lot** of power potentially concentrated into a very small point. Making sure that that power is as difficult to abuse as possible is absolutely important and needs to be handled carefully.

Do you know what a very bad way of handling power like that is? A violent uprising that supports a single absolute political party. Again, I'm not even saying the souffle is bad, but you're trying to bake it in a fucking blast furnace.

Exactly. The revolutionary recipe for communism doesn't work. You can't create a commune of peace, love, and fairness through violent revolution. The act of class warfare breeds blind hatred. The act of violent revolution gives power to the most ruthless revolutionaries. If you want to break down heirarchies, you need to avoid creating your own.

I don't know if there's a way to reach the utopian vision of communism, but the revolutionary method doesn't do it.
