Large-scale, actual communism with no authoritarianism? Not that I'm aware of. It's hard to implement true communism effectively on a large scale because most people have to care enough about others to willingly contribute for it to work.

Authoritarianism is a meaningless term that people with lack of capacity for rational thought regurgitate. Every single government holds authority by virtue of having the monopoly on legal violence. The only question is whose interest the authority is exercised in.

That's just bullshit. Authoritarianism has a clear-cut definition that goes beyond "the government has authority on legal violence" and you know it.

This isn't reddit, please be respectful when disagreeing. You're not going to win any converts by alienating people.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

It's telling that you failed to provide any actual definition for the term.

[-] friendlymessage@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

I'm not gonna waste my time. Any definition I would provide you would dismiss as "western propaganda" anyway.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago

I suppose actually having to define things would take your valuable time away from trolling here.

What do you count as "Authoritatianism?"

Why do you think Communism requires people to care about others to function, and why would they not work otherwise?

I think you have some serious misunderstandings about what Communism entails.
