    Authoritarianism is the enemy of the communist utopia the creators of the ideology dreamed about.

    Can you give an example of this? I’m curious

      The inspiration of Communism came from the idea of Utopian Socialism, which is the free, equal, classless, moneyless utopian society that is the end goal of Communism.

      An authoritarian state controlled by a dictator, like the ones .ml tankes worship, can never be classless, free, or equal.

        Yeah China produced more billionaires than the USA since the pandemic. Tankies go mum when this is brought up. This is hardly “classless and equal”.

          tankies seem wildly unaware of deng xiaoping’s purge of maoism and leftism in China

          Do you tankies actually say this? Because the last time I looked on their channel they did not do that. They might be relative about how horrible America is, since we are a hegemon and we are imperialist in nature. Everybody knows China is a state capitalist country. Even tankies.

            Communists believe in state capitalism, but billionaires existing under communism is oxymoron. USSR imprisoned and/or killed farmers who were deemed kulaks, or slightly rich, for simply owning two more animals or few extra inches of land. Mainland communist China is the complete opposite.
