    So far every “attempt” at communism has resulted in some form of dictator, so it’s not surprising that the idea of communism leaves a sour taste for a lot of people.

    It really doesn’t help that there are communities that look at the Russian outcome of communism and claim that was a good result.

      Well, obviously every attempt at communism results in a dictatorship. To achieve communism, you firstly need a dictatorship but since it’s impossible to achieve communism, you will end up with socialist dictatorship. That’s why it sucks.

      Has anything ever been ok in any of these countries? Russia has always been a totalitarian shit hole, same with China. Communism is just a part of their shitty history of oppression and dictators.

        Not really, Russia went from an empire with kings /queens into a revolution into a “communjst” dictatorship.

        China was similar but I think had a step in the middle, hence the split with Taiwan.

          A monarchy is a dictatorship. It’s literally someone with absolute authority dictating how what happens in a country.
