There are bad things in communism - a reductionist model advertised as fitting for everything (a bit similar to Unix, that), and there are good things in communism - attention to balance of power. Revolutionary ideologies generally have situations warranting a revolution more fleshed out.

If you think communism is reductionist, then you might need to read more theory…

  Just saying, ending comments with “…” doesn’t make them look smarter.
  
  Which specifically, accepted by most communists, should I read? Will that something allow a model different than that of classes and formations and dialectic materialism? If not, then it is reductionist.

I mean, I would describe myself as more of an anarchist: I don’t trust the state or capitalism. When I said “Call me a Paranoid Communist” I was referring to the fact that capitalism is gonna fuck us.

  OK, then - no, not capitalism. Expectation of truth will fuck us. All the stabilizers of the humanity were built reliant on that - if it looks like a duck and so on. It doesn’t work anymore. Can’t blame something on capitalism if with other things equal the change affects capitalist and socialist systems similarly.
  
  Also a new world war seemed like something slowly rolling, with tanks and cargo ships and propaganda speeches.
  
  What people don’t understand is the sheer scale and precision of operations available today. You can prepare for 50 years something that will take 30 seconds, and then we will all have a different world.
  
  I think honestly the Internet is just that - a very slow trap for the rest of the world, being sprung by some parties associated with US military/deep-state/whatever first, and then being continued by Silicon Valley powers that be, only with their own dreams for it.
