    Communism isn’t Communalism. Advocating for Communism and attempting to implement Communism at a national level is illegal, as you’ve shown.

      Communism isn’t Communalism.

      Yes, that’s true.

      Advocating for Communism

      … is legal, under the 1st Amendment.

      attempting to implement Communism at a national level is illegal

      By force, yes. Theoretically, with a broad enough consensus, it could be voted on and enacted.

      All pedantry aside, it’s important to differentiate between theory and practice or ideology and an organization.

        I understand, however my non-pedantic point is that the US legal system works against Communism. The US is a firmly anti-Communist project both within and without.

        Attempting to bring about Communism is impossible legally because it cannot be voted in, unless you believe it’s possible to simply ask a billionaire to not be.
