[QUOTE="Relevance, post: 17688076, member: 121049"] Russia was state capitalist. Period. It was never Communist. All Stalin did was develop capitalism, albeit through state control. Leninism is not real Marxism. Lenin just cut and pasted certain aspects of Marxism into his own theories, which included the idea of a vanguard and democratic centralism, both flawed and unMarxist ideas. Human nature? And what would that be? That people are "naturally" greedy? That's garbage. And selfishness is not against the realization of Communism. For people to be willing to work to realize Communism, they must know that it will benefit [b]them[/b]. It's not about altruism. If an individual does not think the realization of Communism will benefit him/her, why the hell would he/she work to achieve it? In this way, Communism and "selfishness" go together. Human nature is garbage made up by capitalists to convince people that this is "as good as it gets," that change is not possible. [/QUOTE]
