It would be much more comfortable for him rather than just becoming an actual communist.

      It makes more sense when the full quote is used:

      Communism is for us not a state of affairs which is to be established, an ideal to which reality [will] have to adjust itself. We call communism the real movement which abolishes the present state of things. The conditions of this movement result from the premises now in existence.

    Usually im not gonna be the correcting spelling and grammar in a post as an own, but if youre gonna nitpick theory in public know your ‘too’ from a ‘to’ and don’t capitalize names sometimes and be just as free form when adding an apostrophe to make it the possessive form and not plural. Also the 2 quotes that are apparently preferred are just as vague. Especially the Marx one, that could be any social change at all.
