TikTok trot wants to delete Engels quote so that his view of communism can make sense

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

Yes because "the real movement that abolishes the present state of things" is VERY clear.
- The present state of things is me scrolling hexbear in my bed, I will abolish it by falling asleep. Behold, communism.
  
  Building Communism a little bit more every time I hit the vape pen
  
  Present state of things: a fart inside my butt
  Abolishing the present state of things: doing a big fart
- 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.
- Sorry tankies, this proves that even marx would have thought Hitler was a communist. He changed the state of Germany.
Communism is the doctrine of the liberation of the proletariat
I mean it has a weird flow but the meaning is pretty clear to me idk I guess I'm just built different
You're upset because socialist literature is not a play by play and they all advise that it's going to depend on material conditions and the rest of the superstructure?

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.
