A pro-CIA article from a paper owned by a man who has a $600 million contract with the CIA.

Bold move.

PS: Notice how most people (including Leftists) STILL conflate “Communism” (the Marxian conception of a communist society) with State Capitalism. Sad.

“The west called [the Soviet Union] Socialism in order to defame Socialism by associating it with this miserable tyranny; the Soviet Union called it Socialism to benefit from the moral appeal that true Socialism had among large parts of the general world population.”

– Chomsky
The historical dynamics surrounding the word “Socialism” that Chomsky explains in the video above are just as (if not more) true for the word “Communism” today, except there is no USSR. Also, the word “Socialism” is being associated with Social Democracy more than true Socialism.
Leftists:

Please read Marx.

Don’t take sectarian lines without digging into the core source materials and historical context.

The Marxian conception of a “communist society” is what we are referring to when using the word “Communism” (not State Capitalism).
