When we can find a single instance of communism that didn't devolve into an auth hellscape I'll believe you.

    Those are not communism. At all. An autocrat using the language of communism is not communism.

    If I say I'm a gay fish, does that make me a gay fish? If no, then some dumbass country led by a ruler that you often cannot question, is by definition not communist, no matter what they call themselves.

    It works the same way how capitalism is the pathway to fascism. If you give people a government structure that allows them to consolidate and abuse power, they will do so because humans are shitbirds. This is basic humanity 101.
