Does the US having communist parties and co-ops make it less capitalist? Of course not.

We always have to ask ourselves, who is in power and with whose consent are they ruling with?

Does this mean that every socialist project will be absolutely perfect and straight of a communist manifesto, of course not? There will always be contradictions, but I think it will always come down to are the proletariat in control and/ do they have a governing body that represents their interests.
