So...like all media? I'd also like to point out that media, anime included, can be used to condition people against depravity and sickness as well.
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

The Paris Commune wasn't communist, it was merely the closest thing to communism in recorded history.
Unless you count hippie camps.
The Paris Commune was the model which Marx and Engels looked at when developing their concept of an ideal society.
A commune is a form of political organization, and Marxists stuck in 19th century terminology are mainly the ones who constantly insist that it's different from a state.

Some of these were said out of anger rather than critical reflection. For instance, the first is my reaction to someone essentially calling me a man and saying that me having the right to have a psychologically beneficial surgery is going to result in pedophilia being accepted down the line. Many Catholics in North America are pro-LGBT rights, so it was wrong of me to conflate the opinions of Orthodox mad because people won't bow to their petty theocratic fantasies with Christiandom as a whole.
Which came first, the chicken or the egg.
After someone independently confirmed you two are separate people, I will concede that you are. But given that even the mods have learned to be suspicious of such claims, I won't say I didn't have a very good reason to be skeptical.
I'm going to have to call bluff because I don't believe I've even brought up my beliefs for the most part.

It's not about that, it's about the proper fucking usage of words.
Not everything that's red is communist.

Just because it influence communism doesn't make it communist. It was technically a state. A fake state, but still a state.

I'm not a socialist. If anything, I'm against socialism.
I am also against the misuse of words, however.

It wasn't ideologically Communist, but it was basically the society that Communists wanted to make, this was spelled out quite vocally by Marx and Engels. When they speak of "state," they mean an entity for class rule, a "class dictatorship." so a Communist society would essentially be stateless according to their definition because there are no classes to dominate one another, while basically having all the components of a state and being able to administrate.The Founding Fatherland wrote:

I miss before Fascists sold out to capitalism, when they were socialists.
