Like actual communism ever existed. What we got were authoritarian dictators that basically ran a kleptocracy and slapped a “communist” or “socialist” label on it. Facets that looked like the labels were lip service or token at best.
Human history is littered with self interested strongmen who are willing to sacrifice those who disagree with them in their climb to power. More so, there are those who aid and abet them - and we get to experience that in the US now - with reasons varying from prejudice to tribalism to misplaced revenge.
you’re NEVER going to get “actual communism” because it’s an impossible utopian ideology. here’s my ideology: everyone becomes a millionaire and drives lambos and fucks 10/10s every day, no poor people, no orphans, no more suffering
communism comes from a lack of knowledge of basic economic principles that are always valid no matter the ideology
It’s a pretty big hint you don’t live in commie-topia when the glorious leader is feeding orphans blood transfusions from his mega-palace while Nixon assures everyone he’s one of the good ones.
It looks like people have forgotten what communism actually is in just 3 decades…

It’s a great idea in theory, the problem is for every karl marx you’ve got 20 stalin wannabes and 200 gavrillo princeps

No, we had exceptional communism implementation.

Not a communist, but like you’ve ever known lol.

Trying to tell me Nixon isn’t a hero of the proletariat and a generally trustworthy guy??
This might be a bold statement, but I’d even go so far as to say I think he might be a crook!
