Commies already downvoting. Typical.
Why indeed would communists downvote an "anti-communist fighter"? Truly a mystery for the ages!
Agatha Christie fans upvoting, typical
People are going to post Félix Rodríguez hagiographies next and then throw a hissy fit if they don't get 100% positive karma.
Like actual communism ever existed. What we got were authoritarian dictators that basically ran a kleptocracy and slapped a “communist” or “socialist” label on it. Facets that looked like the labels were lip service or token at best.
It's a great idea in theory, the problem is for every karl marx you've got 20 stalin wannabes and 200 gavrillo princeps
Human history is littered with self interested strongmen who are willing to sacrifice those who disagree with them in their climb to power. More so, there are those who aid and abet them - and we get to experience that in the US now - with reasons varying from prejudice to tribalism to misplaced revenge.
you're NEVER going to get "actual communism" because it's an impossible utopian ideology. here's my ideology: everyone becomes a millionaire and drives lambos and fucks 10/10s every day, no poor people, no orphans, no more suffering
communism comes from a lack of knowledge of basic economic principles that are always valid no matter the ideology
Not a communist, but like you've ever known lol.
It's a pretty big hint you don't live in commie-topia when the glorious leader is feeding orphans blood transfusions from his mega-palace while Nixon assures everyone he's one of the good ones.
