I’m not delusional enough to think I will live in communism in my lifetime; my hope is that my political activity can possibly someday contribute to a future where that is the case. Of course, more freedom in the lives of people around me is welcome.
If you don't think that communism is possible in the near term, why even be a communist? It seems to me that it would make more sense to be a social democrat if you don't think the reproduction of society is possible without value or some scheme which approximates it.
