Human society was communist for over a hundred thousand years before the idea of empires and cities came along. Indigenous communities lived under what we would call communism in the modern day until feudalism was invented.


The USSR was not communist. They had a communist ideology, sure, but the definition essentially comes down to a communist society being stateless while also being a dictatorship of the proletariat (that is, ALL the workers are essentially the leader at the same time and they make decisions collectively through direct democracy). And the USSR could only barely fit that definition for about one or two years before Lenin essentially steered it into a regular autocratic dictatorship with communist aesthetics.


At that point it’s potato, potay-toh. Marx and pretty much every communist philosopher defined it as stateless.


There is no state in a communist society.


…the class is supposed to be for regular citizens.
All For One in My Hero Academia. That motherfucked died four different times and every time he got revived it was almost an asspull.

First All Might punched the top half of his head off and he got necromanced back to life into looking like a potato, then Endeavor turned him into Kentucky Fried Chicken but he used Eri’s quirk from the bullets to rewind himself, then all the heroes combined + All Might in an Iron Man suit + Bakugo damaged him enough for him to turn back into a fetus, and then he came back on Tomura’s psyche and Deku had to hit a continental-level punch alongside Tomura interfering with his quirk to delete him for good.
