    Ah, communism is like unicorns. Many people like them but nobody have seen them alive. Because every communist state is not communist but authoritarian.

      The endless “that wasn’t Communism, it was authoritarianism” lines come from liberals sympathetic to the ideas behind liberalism, but who have not read theory nor truthfully examined AES states. No more, no less.

      Actually yeah, I think just about every so called communist state is what would be called a failed workers state by the non authoritarian socialists.
