    All of it? Your definition of communism is the same as that of the failed dictatorships of the 20th century.

    When most people nowadays talk about socialism or communism they talk about a democracy in the workplace and in politics. People who want a strong state that owns everything are a loud minority in leftist circles, as you can see on lemmy. But they’re not as big in real life.

      Thanks for the reply. I am not understanding. What is the modern definition of communism then? Are you saying it is really about Socialism?

        It’s a bit cliche but the first paragraph of wikipedia says it better than I could:

        Communism (from Latin communis ‘common, universal’)[1][2] is a sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology within the socialist movement,[1] whose goal is the creation of a communist society, a socioeconomic order centered on common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange that allocates products in society based on need.[3][4][5] A communist society entails the absence of private property and social classes,[1] and ultimately money[6] and the state.[7][8][9]
