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

    If Trump, as he is now, becomes president of the system, then that means that the system is likely in great crisis or decay.

    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.

    Well, if dialectical materialism is used to reach communism, it will still be taught to handle other issues and maintain communism, right?

    Would it be less needed after class contradictions are resolved? But there maybe other contradictions remaining, right?

      Regarding Trump over Cuba, yes, it would indeed be a great crisis. He wouldn’t get elected in the first place.

      As for dialectical materialism, it’s universally applicable. It’s used for science, historical analysis, etc. Even after the class struggle is resolved, there will still be contradictions, as all motion and development is caused by contradiction.
