Communism is only bad when the wrong people are in charge.
Communism is bad no matter who is in charge. You can't have communism and allow freedom of speech, freedom to make money or to own a house and relies on indoctrination and fear to maintain power. Communism can't have an alternative or it is not going to work on any large scale.
Communism is tolerated because people are willing to give up their freedom if things are good but it is still an abusive relation that is being forced.
Mate, we are not ants. Humans are not made for communism and NEVER will. Communism does not work and goes outright against our nature. Also do not forget every time communism is on charge it is followed up with fascism.
Wait, where was communism in charge that is now fascist? I think I missed that part!
One could argue China's pretty much that nowadays, very much focus on national pride and the government is authoritarian as fuck. I probably should've worded it differently, more like communism and their ilk cause fascism to rise in power. Perfect example is in Germany where communists were openly fighting in the streets, then there was the reichstag burning. Maybe my wording was wrong with in charge.
I think you, as well as many many others, confuse authoritarianism with fascism.
Rome was fascist. The USA was founded as a fascist state.
Fascism is a word that has been 1984'd so hard over the last 80 years, it's fucking insane.
The wrong people to have in charge of a communist society are communists.
The "right people" have never been near the command structure of Communist nations: they get weeded out long before that.
By design, communism allows the scum to rise to the top while hard working honest politicians get shit-kicked out of the system.
