<p>@Ctesiphon I reread a bit of your longest post, so I’m just continuing another thought. </p>
<p>Like someone said above, if “A communist wants to overthrow the state and take charge of it, then since the state no longer serves any meaningful purpose, it will wither away,” then somewhere during that change, corruption will take hold. The very small possibility I see with this, is if a incorruptible leader came and established that communism, keeping control over his communist yet corruptible friends. </p>
<p>The other possibility, perhaps unlikelier than the idea above, is a slow sort of brainwashing of everyone. Just as monarchy moved to democracy, push for ideas that would move democracy to communism/anarchy. </p>
<p>@ThatOneWeirdGuy My slow brainwashing would be similar to your “how we raise our children.” </p>
