So in my mind extremism is bad either way you go and it is not something that anyone should brush off and say “these left wing extremists are fine” because reality never works out that way. Extremism is monstrous either way.
I suspect “true” Communism is something you’ll only find on the pages of a book. Because in reality it goes from being a revolution, to a party, to cliques, to a power struggle, to a purge, to a dictator. And people get shot, tortured, beaten and sent to death camps every step of the way.
Because you’re doing a “no true Communism” bit that’s just purity testing, rather than accepting failures of AES as failures of AES and successes of AES as successes of AES.
For me true communism would be living in a group in consensus that nobody owns but the whole group together
Cool, so AES is AES and thus true attempts at Communism.
What is the purpose of Communism? Communism is not “enlightenment” it isn’t a religuous status, it’s a process. Working to put theory to practice, and correct as you go, is Communism.
The achievement of a “Stateless, Classless, Moneyless society,” ie Upper-Stage Communism, as Marx puts it, is a far-future society that has to be worked towards.
Because the people in power are not trying to make themselves obsolete and they all have some sort of class system that is actively maintained by the people in power
The government “collapsing itself” is not Marxist in any way, why would the government shrink itself? Additionally, what do you mean by “actively maintaining a class?” Have you read Marx? That might clear up some of your confusion.
That’s a lot of nonsense if you aren’t going to actually analyze anything.

😂how to get to that I don’t analyse?

True attempt to achieve communism is not the same as achieving true communism, I’d say…
Why?

I don’t think current “AES” really work in the direction “stateless” nor "classless”. Maybe “moneyless” I could see that.
But I absolutely agree that the achievement of an upper-stage Communism would be fabulous
Why do you believe AES not to be working in the direction of achieving Communism?
Because the people in power are not trying to make themselves obsolete and they all have some sort of class system that is actively maintained by the people in power
Or in which “AES” is that not the case?
