And Stalinist, Maoists, and other authoritarian Communists.

Usually they also "love" countries like North Korea, China, and for whatever reason (aNtI iMpErIaLiSm), Syria, Russia, and so on.

Red Fascists. They use the same tactics of gas lighting and goal post shifting.

As I have mentioned to a Trotskyist and an anarchist in this thread, you aren't going to make it far trying to be "One of the Good Communists". You are siding with liberal anticommunists. You have four options: Leave; become a liberal; have the liberals turn on you; or realize that you might have picked the wrong side in this conflict.
