Most people who praise communism don’t know what communism is, and no, there have been no communist states ever, it’s just impossible for such system to exist.

Socialism is the step before the communism you describe, and the people who support it are communists. Go read Marxist theory instead of relying on hearsay arguments like that.

I am pro socialism and I call myself socialist, not communist. Communism is a wet dream, not possible for our species to accomplish, just because majority of people will always want to have more than others. It’s just our nature, you can’t change that.

And even true socialism is far away, just because people are greedy and short-sighted.

What do you mean by socialism? Because the goal of socialism is to gradually arrive at communism. I don’t know a lot of Marxist theory but what you say doesn’t make much sense. No one (except for anarchists and maybe “new leftists”) wants to jump to communism directly.

Unless by socialist you mean social-democrat.

Step one is literally: " parents should never see their children again, to prevent poisoning their mind with capitalist ideas"

I will try. Communism is utopia in its base. Good start? No state, money, no police(yes, you do need law enforcement to have a running society). Under Communism, you would work in the factory and then you would go into a shop and take the bread that you exactly need. Am I doing a good job at it? There would be no need to reeducate anyone, because absolutely every person would educate themselves about communist ideals. Does this sound like something that should ever work? Communism treats people like robots.

What’s utopian is painting a picture of the minutia of what communist society will look like, that’s what you’re doing now and what every Marxist repudiates

No state, no money, sure, because that’s seen as a resolution of the contradictions in class society and therefore a logical conclusion

No law enforcement? Factories and shops? You’ve made up your own image of communism in your mind and have decided that’s what everybody else thinks, and use your own utopia to discredit scientific socialists

Why would someone living under communism have to educate themselves on communist ideals? People living under capitalism don’t educate themselves on capitalist ideals, they take it completely for granted because that’s the status quo
