Marina,
You stated in your last post that your justification for believing the USSR was a socialist country and not a communist one was not based on just the wording of the country. You neglected to state what your other justification(s) were though. I’m sure that was an oversight on your part. I’m still waiting for your explanation.
Concerning your reference to `The German Ideology’ I noticed you conveniently posted a “quote” and provided a link to a site in a foreign language. If you want to convince me of your position you’re not going to be able to do that with guile or deception. That book was originally published in Russian and had been translated into every major language spoken on the planet. If you wanted to you could have selected a quote written in English but you didn’t. If you’re going to try and lie I’m going to call you out on it.
Now the one thing that you did correctly state (but seem unable to understand) was that Engel’s did believe that democracy could not cure social evil, thus the goal of communism. So my question to you is what exactly is communism a transition from? And if you do decide to respond be sure to do so in English and provide the specific source your referencing (that’s means a site link or a manuscript with a page number).
I’ll be waiting.
