I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I’d rather hear about things that are actually happening.

Communism=Authoritarianism
I was taught in school the characteristics of authoritarianism and a couple weeks later, when i was being taught about communism, the same characteristics were said
Going a step further, the idea of authoritarian. Every ideology with a state relies on some type of authority to function, as a term it is an attempt at equating fascism and communism and serves as holocaust trivialization.

They usually come packaged together. You’ll have a hard time naming democratic liberal communist countries/leaders.
liberalism and communism are literally opposing ideology.
But if you have a hard time naming democratic communist leaders, that’s largely because you’ve only been taught about the totalitarian ones.
Liberal socialism is a thing. But yes, hard to have liberal values alongside the communist cancer.
I did say they usually go together.
Yeah, but they’re fundamentally different from liberals
Hard to have communist values alongside the liberal cancer.
And you base that on what?
I base it on my feelings
I figured
All of the communist countries one immediately thinks of? Without needing to cherrypick like a badfaith tankie cuck.
The irony of posting that in this comment section, out of all of them.
But a very easy time naming democratic communists. Even Stalin wasn’t a dictator, according to liberal historians such as Conquest who are experts on the soviet union. Socialism is more democratic than capitalism.
You’re right that they’re absolutely not the same, however at a nation state level, I’d be very surprised if you could point to any communist regime at any point in history that wasn’t also authoritarian or didn’t end up that way
