Yea, because a ruling class that’s pushing a lot of development still exists. Along with capitalists pushing investment around. Two things communism doesn’t want around.
I’m not against communism. I’m just against claiming Marxism-Leninism is a demonstrably good version of it.
The proletariat as the ruling class is the basis of socialism. The existence of capitalists within the confines of socialism is a contradiction that must be worked out, not evidence to the lack of socialism. Russia is no longer socialist, so I’m not sure why you bring it up, it’s an excellent example of why capitalism is worse.
If you’re opposed to the only major implementation of socialism in real life, then that’s the reality of your stance.
