Amazing that your comment shows +15 and -0 votes at the moment. A month ago or thereabouts I made similar comments comparing Communists to Nazis in regard to how authoritarianism is bad and people hated that shit.
EDIT: haha there's my downvotes, bring it on you commie dipshits. Fuck communism, fuck the CCP, fuck Russia and all the rest.
Communists are barely better than Nazis.
Communists are great. Authoritarians are the problem. Much like how Nazis called themselves socialists, plenty of other awful people like to adopt our words and twist them to manipulate.
I don't think you know what communism is and how Russia /China/etc. fail at it. Speaking as a non-communist, I I think you should seek to deepen your understanding before engaging with the topic further.
There exist anti-authoritarian communists. (They're called "anarchists". Pro-capitalists have in relatively recent times appropriated the term, so don't let them confuse you.) You're getting downvotes because you're conflating communism with authoritarianism just because you've personally never had experience with anarchists.
My instance doesn't have downvotes and this feels very reddity to me
