Afaik this happened with every single instance of a communist country. Communism seems like a pretty good idea on the surface, but then why does it always become autocratic?

    This might be news to you but it’s not the mid to late 1800’s anymore. Marx is about as relevant as Locke.

      Might be news to you, but the US’s “definition” of communism is about as relevent as the US’s definition of “leftism”…

      So, yes, the definition of what “communism”… It’s best to go to the source of the word, and what the talked about it meaning, rather than Joe McCarthy.

        That’s hilarious, you’re the first one to talk about American anything in this thread. I specifically used Chinese and Russian Communist ideology.
