    I would not want a communist system under Donald Trump

    But Trump is openly a Capitalist?
    If current Trump could lead such a system, would that be a communist systne? Or would it remain as a communist system?

    In communism the whole makes the individual. In capitalism the individual makes the whole

    Wouldn’t Communism have both, since it has dialectics?

      Socialism/communism are systems, not individuals. Technically you could have, say, Cuba with Trump as president. It would be farcical, but one person alone is not the system.

      As for communism having dialectics, that’s not the right conception of dialectics. Dialectical materialism is the world outlook of communists, not a feature of socialist/communist systems.
