If a workers' council is a public service and the state taking it over is state-capitalism then yeah, it's an apt analogy because it's what actually happened.
state-capitalism is not arbitrary mental gymnastics. Capitalism is a private owner controlling and owning the means of production (workers, etc). That is what Lenin's communism was. That is a fact.
Trying to defend communism from the position of left-wing communism is simply irrelevant. Communism became what it became: the model everyone else followed. Marx failed to link capital to power with any coherence and and thus communism was doomed to become an oxymoron.
Capital is power. When you take power, complete centralized economic power, you can no longer claim communism has any coherence to it's main goal. Marx's critiques of capitalism become critiques of communism.
People on internet just be creating the most absurd shit and be like "i will convince myself this is real". Like, It's just one of biggest mental gymnastics i have ever seen someone do. Tf u mean Lenin wanted to privatize and control the Means of production? WHAT?? Bud jus hear urself for second
It’s fucking brain dead behavior. I WISH they were actual communists or socialists just like I wish dems were the “communist monsters” Republicans say they are.
i just realized the MAGAcom freaks are completely absent here. been strange not having the occasional insistance that this fascist buffoonery is all in preparation for true socialism.
whenever they try to do some insanely racist dumb shit there's always people commenting what could essentially be boiled down to "what are we, a bunch of mongoloid commies??"

The left-wing communists lost to the Bolsheviks. You seem to be missing the basic facts of history.
