To begin with, “No way” used to tell someone that something is impossible (https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/no-way). Its usage here simply shows metaphysical voluntarism. Let’s go on. Actually, let’s move from metaphysics to pragmatism. To tell the truth, giving a feedback to this text needs a strong urge to remain calm. There are so many assumptions, false interpretations, misunderstandings (?), socio“logical” half truths, where one doesn’t know where to begin from (“radical political event demanding the abolition of capitalism and private property, funding by...Goldman Sachs, Vodafone Foundation, Ford Foundation, the Soros Foundation” (!), “First they paid Lenin to weaken Russia”(!).“Then they paid Hitler to weaken the communists”; etc; readers will enjoy it at ease.
General outcome: Communism DOES come back based on the experience of the past despite some naive persons' efforts who know but they do not want the others to know the obvious. Simple quotes of facts document it. It is known truth is based on facts not assumptions, the article is full of them, no need to quote them.
1. GLOBAL COMMUNISM ON THE GO IS BASED ON CHINA and the likes of it. The country declares is applying “socialism with Chinese characteristics”. It implements it with unprecedented results, being already a global paradigm. Apart of China, Cuba, North Korea, Laos, Venezuela, Vietnam are on the same route. These communist states often do not claim to have achieved socialism or communism in their countries but to be building and working toward the establishment of socialism in their countries. Besides, most of African and Central American countries of (Nicaragua, the new regimes in the Sahel zone, etc.) are heading on the same guidelines. Last but not least, most of the about 60 countries willing to join BRICS are fully aware of the pragmatic perspectives of the initiative.
2. THE GLOBAL MAJORITY: it has been feasible in such a short period of time based on the initiatives China has launched (BRICS; BRI; SCO; etc.). All countries members of these initiatives recognize the general principles of socialism theory and practice (central planning; priority on infrastructure; emerging technologies for the citizen inaction; last but not least, Ecological Civilization construction). And they apply them eagerly.
3.THE DECLINE OF NEW LEFT. The leftists in Europe and all those schools of thought (although hey played a positive role some decades ago) mentioned herein together with capitalism decline have created a global trend towards Marxism and even Leninism justification. TODAY THE EXPORT OFREVOLUTION HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE EXPORT OF DEVELOPMENT. There is no need to raise red flags and traditional symbols of communism (hammer and sickle); however go to the liberated regions by SMO and see for yourself not only on the Russian tanks, ask the population instead.
4. THE CONCEPT OF SOCIALISM IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION: I just quote recent polls: Statistics again: 68%of young people in Russia aged 18-24 have a POSITIVE opinion of Lenin, while only 9% say they have a "negative opinion"(22% "have no opinion"). This is the most significant finding of a pan-Russian survey published in April 2024by the Levada Research Center in Russia (which is not pro-communist -quite the contrary...). The generation born and raised in the "Putinera" is more inspired by Lenin compared to the "perestroika and Yeltsin generation" (ages 26-39) whose positive opinion of the Russian revolutionary is at 63% or the "stagnation generation" (ages 40-54) whose positive opinion is at 62%. In fact, the positive opinion of Lenin "sweeps" is the age among the over-55s who lived in the Soviet era: 74%! The other important element of the survey is that the rabid attempts to "kill Lenin" in the consciousness of Russian society have FAILED: today 67% of Russians are "with Lenin", whereas in 2006,when this kind of measurement began, it was 40%! There are more interesting facts, such as:- The largest percentage of those who want Lenin to be kept in the Red Square Mausoleum (54%) are young people aged 18-24! - The majority of Russians in response to "why do you have a positive opinion of Lenin" say that "Lenin brought Justice and Equality" - 37% say that they "will follow the path that Lenin blazed"! - While I find it important that the majority (31%) of the spontaneous answers of young people aged 18-24 to the question "what is Lenin for you", answers "the representative of the interests of the working class"! The entire survey for anyone interestedhere: https://www.levada.ru/2024/04/16/predstavleniya-o-lichnosti-vladimira-lenina-i-ego-roli-v-istorii-strany/
5. The general outcome shows that "a specter is haunting metaphysics all over the world—the tangible concept of materialism dialectics and communism." President Xi Jinping quotes “to study and apply materialistic dialectics, we should not oppose metaphysical ways of thinking. Of all things in the world, metaphysics requires the least amount of effort; as it is neither based on nor subjected to the test of objective reality, people can talk as much nonsense as they like. Upholding materialistic dialectics, in contrast, demands a high level of genuine effort”.

Dear Arktos,
To begin with, “No way” used to tell someone that something is impossible (https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/no-way). Its usage here simply shows metaphysical voluntarism.
