    Current capitalism is not capitalism at all, it’s oligarchy.

    Gee… nothing oligarchical about a system where the rich hold all the power, eh?

    Nothing at all, brightspark?

    Communism is about equality dictated by the government

    Really, brightspark? Nothing at all about a stateless, classless and moneyless society, eh?

    The problem is not in the system capitalism,

    Have you ever tried not eating paint flakes?

      To be fair, the state doesn’t exist in communism, but administrative functions we would associate with the government absolutely will. This goes back to Marx. Engels referred to it as “the administration of things” as a way to distinguish it from the state, but from the outside this does look like a government, even without classes.
