Are we pretending that communism wasn't implemented/ existed? Communism was evil because it was evil, it was an authoritarian hellhole where you could not have unapproved opinions, you had no freedom on how to spend your money, constant monitoring by the state and you could not own your own house. Liberalism is guilty of being infiltrated by communism and moving us towards the same ideals but with the added benefit of mass immigration - meaning there is no turning back.
