    There’s never been an actual communist government. As much as those countries like to say they’re communist, that doesn’t make it true. They’re authoritarian, and you’re buying their propaganda if you think they’re actually communist.

      If every “communist” government ever turned out to be authoritarian, you might want to ask yourself if there is some fundamental flaw in communism that makes it so it always turns out that way.

      Also, Marx literally called for a “dictatorship of the proletariat”. If that isn’t authoritarian, then IDK what is.

        You gotta be fucking dumb to think that there is only capitalism on the right and communism on the left.

        They are both extreme and should be treated as such.

        I assume you are from the US because your communism trigger is the fastest in the west.

        There isn’t even an iota of leftism in the US political system and you call your left communist.
