It's really weird to hear commies claim that Marxism is the only form of communism, and that all other forms are "state capitalism" or some similar bullshit, then to turn around and see a list of the different forms of "communism". Which is it?

I think you'll find that most communists would not consider Marxism to be the true form communism. As far as I can tell communism is an economic system through which a stateless, classless, moneyless, nonhierarchical is achieved by the workers. The different "forms" are not actually different forms of communism, as communism is only one thing (that which I just defined). The more accurate term would be "path". By this I mean that the state-centric Stalinism is a path to achieving true communism. The same goes for Trotskyism, anarcho-communism, etc.

The same goes for socialism in that socialism, and all its variants, are just paths to achieving communism. At least for the communists, that is.

No, because the state isn't infringing on my freedoms and is protecting my interests and working standard from big businesses.

Well, yes, but there's more parts to the different ideas around that or how to achieve it. For example, some don't necessarily seek a moneyless society.

I consider myself to be classical Marxist with some Syndicalist tendencies, and I am shocked, that so many communists/socialists today don't have problems with religion.

Who has no problem with religion is no communist or even socialist for me.

It's just like feudalism. It outdated it's usefulness. If there was any at all times.

"Those who reached my boundary, their seed is not; their hearts and their souls are finished forever and ever. As for those who had assembled before them on the sea, the full flame was their front before the harbour mouths, and a wall of metal upon the shore surrounded them. They were dragged, overturned, and laid low upon the beach; slain and made heaps from stern to bow of their galleys, while all their things were cast upon the water." - Ramesses III., Battle of the Delta

Yes it did. You weren't given a say in what working conditions you wanted. The state presupposed you liked (or at least tolerated) those working conditions.

Yes they do.

It is your right (and the right of a union of labour) to contract with a corporation and determine your working condition, wage/salary,intensity of labour, and benefits.
