Thank you for the reading list! I'll take a gander :)
No problem!
They're conveniently leaving out the entire concept of Socialism for some reason, while making sure to mention Marxism by name.
I leave out "socialism" because for the vast majority of actual implementations, they have been Marxist in character, and additionally any Socialist system in my opinion would either progress to Communism or regress to Capitalism, making it kind of redundant to split from Communism.
Communism isn't a type of Socialism if we are being nitpicky, but the Mode of Production after Socialism.
Additionally, I did say it was an extreme simplification, and I meant that. I'm not diving into syndicalism, utopianism, Posadism, Maoism, Gonzaloism, Trotskyism, Hoxaism, etc because ultimately they don't need to be delved into for someone with no knowledge.
