For a group that considers .world to be Reddit 2.0 and a "CIA propaganda front" they seem to get awfully mad whenever it comes up

Good lord, and any criticism of an authoritarian communist government and they expose just how much they love the taste of boots.
I would tolerate them a little more if it weren't for the constant brigading.
Wanna analyze Marxist-Leninist-Maoist theory, self-crit, and all that good stuff? Fine by me, I like discussion of varying viewpoints. But often it's not about that but are bad faith arguments and whataboutisms about how the decadent West is ruled by the US and how Putin/Kim/Xi did nothing wrong.
It's exhausting. I don't go into their subs and rattle on about liberal market economics.
Like, I get it...I get their issues with capitalism. But it's not like socialism won't have it's own problems.
Personally, I'd rather not go through a bloody civil war in order to inact a new system, because I know that my children are going to be the ones that have to suffer that nightmare. I'd much rather try to fix the problems of our current system than start from the beginning with a brand new one.
You couldn’t be more right. Take a look around, and you’ll see they’re here in the comments.
"authoritarian communist" is an oxymoron to begin with. how can you build a society where everyone is equal by enforcing authority
Well, every so called communist government has been one, so there are examples...
Thanks for making my point.
I mean don't you prove his point, by pointing out that all governments that call themselves communist are "so called communist governments"? So they aren't doing communism right, else they could call themselves rightfully communist.
I do share the notion that communism is an ideology or economic system that is supposed to liberate people from class war. So it should be a liberating force. Suppressing dissent, free media, and casually engaging in imperialism and ethnic cleansing is not what I'd imagine a liberating government would do.
Obviously democracies with "free markets" also have these pitfalls. Not to say that both are equally wrong, but both are surely not the implementation of its self proclaimed ideals.
Another one crawling out the woodwork.
What?
All they know how to do is to insult people who disagree with them.
The hilarious irony, they technically agree. He's just not knowledgeable enough to know it.
Every government that called itself communist, yes
