I think communism has been thoroughly tainted by power-hungry authoritarians and Marx largely enabled it with his state-friendly theories and Western-civilization-chauvinism.

Authoritarian communists have long vastly outnumber libertarian communists so I don't see the point of trying to convince ourselves that a word that is for all intents and purposes owned and controlled by authoritarians can be reclaimed by libertarians.

I'm going to stop talking about communism as the stateless, moneyless, anarchistic end goal because there's just no way anyone is going to buy into that at this point. Communism is dead.
