      Pure communism = A stateless, moneyless, classless society. Not simply whatever we’re doing to try to get there.

      Pure capitalism = Anarcho-capitalism gives way to its final form, Arachno-capitalism.

        I think the obsession with “purity” is just dogmatism, though. Systems are what they are, not some form of pure distilled ideology.
