There's been dozens of successful Marxist-Leninist revolutions. It took the US half a century of unparalleled economic, military, diplomatic and propagandistic efforts to wear these states down, states that without exception where undeveloped, impoverished, largely illiterate backwaters either suffering under despotic monarchs, a colonial extractive economy or both before the communists came along, and not only did most of them hold out against the biggest superpower in the world for decades while making substantial headway in improving material conditions, the yanqui swine still haven't succeeded in their effort against China, the DPRK, Cuba and Vietnam. There's good, valid criticisms from the left of all of these states and how far they've actually come in building AES, but denying their successes in their entirity because they didn't immediately implement full communism, ignoring the sacking of the bourgeoise class in these countries and saying that capitalism is the only game in town and that our only alternative would be some totally different approach that just has never been tried yet, that these projects are "not actually socialism", is a form of capitalist realism. Please stop adopting chuds "socialism doesn't work" arguments. Of course socialism does work, there would have been no need for a Cold War if it wouldn't. If even the transitionary stage of socialism wasn't a massive, vital threat to capitalism, if communist revolutions would be as pointless in overcoming cpaitalism as you are stating, why would capital bother to fight tooth and nail against this?
Look, it's not really an own if you need to put words in my mouth to make your argument work. I didn't argue against anarchism at all, i was arguing for socialism, which you are dismissing in exactly the same way as some chud or neolib - by saying that there has never been a viable alternative to capitalism. But there has been, and there is.

please take a step back and appreciate the irony
