Pretty much all communist regimes have been dictatorships. What's your point?
Money can be a dictator too.
Because capitalism and communism are the only 2 options....
It doesn't matter what option you choose as long as humans are involved in any form.
Any government that claims to be something in between really just wants you to think it's something in between.
You think existing government can't manipulate you into thinking we are in a democracy?
Which is what the extremist propagenda taught you to think. Good for them.
So is this the whataboutism I've been hearing so much about? Meme didn't even mention communism.
Anarchism!
You'll never get anything accomplished then once everyone needs to agree.
That's unanimous consensus, not democracy.
Talking about anarchy.
Yes. I mean it as in the Wikipedia definition, not chaos.

I didn't know reality was western propaganda, those pesky Americans!
The fact is that you were so brainwashed by the Red Scare that you don’t realize that the reality you were told is all lies.
🆗 😎
The truth is somewhere inbetween.. not "reality" like you claim it is.
I'm not sure what in-between there is for "a lot of communist and socialist countries are just as if not more authoritarian than their capitalist counterparts"
The point being made is that the criticism being made doesn't apply to capitalism in any way that it wouldn't also apply to other economic systems.
Nope, the truth is in the left and not the center 😎
