What I’ve figured over reading and studying theory for myself is when you think you’ve understood Socialism and specifically scientific Socialism, you read something else that shows how little you know. There is no specific formula for how to build Socialism in a country. In the 19th century the international wasn’t going around imposing a one formula for all; they would learn the conditions of a specific nation and critique the party programme of their labor or workers or social democratic parties. Was NEP Russia not Socialist? Well Lenin tells you why that’s not true. Marx as well knew that the new society would be marked with the birth pangs of the old. Communists do not see capitalism as totally evil but rather as a great tool that greatly develops the productive forces. Once those forces are developed enough then they can be used to build Socialism.
Then you’ll be called a red fash because any country or any people that do not fit the western diaspora is fascist or backward, uneducated. These days to be illiberal is to be a fascist.
