Sounds pretty based. Words are wind, in his heart where it matters he is a communist

Is your Dad for state ownership of the economy on a state capitalist basis? [Silly question if bait, but politics tends to invite strange views].

He lacks the imagination to see an industrial wageless, classless society without commodity production. Could even start supporting nationalists is he sees the class society in danger.

This is the expected endpoint of ML/socdem thought. Transcending the logic of commodities and capital is unthinkable so you simply ratchet up the power of the party-state to try and keep capitalism in check.

>>2867887
You literally cannot transcend commodity production within the confines of the nation state or even a group of nation states. This is like shitting on a worker coop because they still have wages.

>Dad is a socdem and enjoyed a soc dem nation like the USSR
K, KEEP ME POSTED

USSR was socdem only in two periods, the NEP, then under Perestroika and Glasnost

No you massive retard, that's exactly where it doesn't matter.
All that matters are his actions politically.

>>2867840
So your dad is a bog-standard modern "marxist-leninist" then.

if only all MLs were as honest as your dad

MLMs may have better and more consistent politics on paper, but PPW is a failing strategy as of this moment, the one time MLMs did take power was in Nepal where they were forced at gunpoint by the CPC and INC to do liberal nonsense and that led directly to last year’s color revolution there

count yourself lucky. my dad is an autistic lib failson from a bourgeois family who got a woman (my mother) way younger than him pregnant because he really believed her when she said she couldn't get pregnant. neither of them bothered to raise me and my relationship with them is more one of distant and vague friendship than a typical child-parent relationship.

your daddy might make you worship stalin but at least you were raised with a value system of some sort. I had to discover socialism on my own.
