      I’m kind of the opposite. I have no problem with (well intentioned and rational) communists. But if we had full blown communism with Trump in charge, it would be game over for everyone.

      Does that make Trump a communist if he would actually love if the US was a communist state? Maybe I actually agree with you.

        The state of communists right now is:

        I know what’s good for you, you suffer from propaganda. You don’t have to vote, otherwise the people who don’t have your best interests in mind will get into power.

        This has nothing to do with an ideology. It’s just the people who claim to follow this ideology are being authoritarians.

        They aren’t called tankies for nothing.

        Any ideology can be forced upon a society through authoritarianism. Communists aren’t popular in democracy. So they long went with the authoritarian way.
