This is something I've had on my mind for a while, how can communism even work as a system if there's going to be right wingers and people generally opposed to the system? Capitalism seems to be able to sustain itself for some reason even with left wing opposition while communism tends to break apart when enough people oppose it. It just seems too likely that a bad actor will break the system back down into capitalism.
Does the mere existence of right wingers make communism impossible?

Four words.
Civil War. Gulag. Purges.
Luis Thomas
Does the mere existence of slave owners make emancipation impossible?
Xavier Myers
In exactly the same way as any other state. Via suppressing dissent and forcing compliance.
And oh well, any state can degrade and break down, no matter its political or economic system.
Jaxson Brooks
I mean there are still aristocrats bopping around but capitalism is the world's dominant economic system and has been for awhile.
Charles Cooper
We're destined to die on this planet at each other's throats. It's hopeless. Fight forward, but don't fall for the same radical idea as the 20th century. That dream is impossible.
Gabriel Lewis
It makes peaceful, democratic socialism impossible. It isn't feasible to expect a majority or plurality of people to approve of every single step needed to abolish private property, suppress the counter revolution, etc.
Chase Rogers
That's what gulags and the wall are for.

This isn't even true. Communism (socialism really) most commonly falls after major bouts revisionism and after suffering from imperialist sabotage. It's not just a matter of anti-communist resistance.
Colton Campbell
Wouldn't that mean that at every stage of purges/state control at least a % of right-wingers would survive passing their opposition to a % of that, ensuring opposition survives no matter what?
John Cook
eternal struggle
when u gotta fash to bash the fash
Matthew Stewart
You have to abolish the conditions which perpetuate the class(es) that oppose socialism/communism. This is why revisionism is so bad. Just one step backwards gives the reactionaries more time to stage coups with help from imperialists.
Julian Cox
Fuuuuuuuuuuck, we don't even get one do-over/mistake?
AI-led revolution when?
Eli Moore
Maybe. That's why you stop asking for their opinions and make them pick up weapons or flee the country, get reeducated, or contribute to socialism at a totally voluntary summer fun camp.
Austin King
Of course not. This is why Marx spoke of the Red Terror and socialist regimes enacted it.
Jeremiah Gomez
What a bunch of idealistic bullshit.
As long as there are class conflicts, the state will be there to suppress the others in the interest of the ruling class. It's articulated clearly in The State and Revolution.
Ethan Richardson
You had marxists-lenninst states, but you faggots kept moving from them to capitalist countries. Move there you faggots. Go to Vietnam or whatever
Alexander Torres
No, we much rather purge yankee scum.
Kayden Lee
Brody Bell
Seems like bullshit to me. What do you base this on?
Ryan Campbell
Just give them a taste of their own medicine, show them that might makes right. Kill the fuckers.
Easton Jackson
Amen
Blake Bell
The trick is to shift the center of political discourse. Right-wingers aren't a problem if the democratic process you're installed turns around an innately communist center. They'll be reduced to right-communists.
