    There's tribes that civilization hasn't been able to get close enough to to communicate with(doubt they could anyways) that probably lacks traditional holidays..idk they might have ritual/sacrifice type shit.

    u sounds like hater who refuses to accept a tranny calling herself herself. even the christians are less rigid about who may call and define themselves as christians.

    we are who we say we are.

    What exactly is "rigid" about the definition of communism? A communist state as a few basic properties like absence of a state, absence of social classes, communal (not state) ownership of the means of production and Soviet Russia meets none of those criteria. Not even one.

    benny vader YELLOW GHOST
    so is china i know.

    what i'm saying is that maybe we should be less rigid about our definition of whats and whos communist and whos not and just accept what they say they are .....

    no need to go down to academic precision in trying to define them unless we are talking about methods of governance.

    No, but more importantly it explains why communism can't work. In a word, humans.
