    asserting my knowledge of theory

    Ah, the old “you just need to read a whole bunch more theory before you’re qualified to talk about anything” gauntlet.

    Why should anyone waste time reading the prophecies when we’ve already seen how they’ve failed, time after time?

      I appreciate the theories and even agree with them quite regularly.

      But I like to think of myself as a realist, and I just don’t see these concepts ever coming true. Realistically, I think the best bet for communism is nuclear devastation, total societal collapse or an AI takeover, a la The Matrix. You know you gotta break down the system, not just change it. And good luck doing that.
