Unfortunately it’s not communists states. It’s authoritarians.
Americans spend most of their high school social studies, econ, and english lit classes being gaslit into believing there’s no difference.
There was a right-wing capitalist military dictatorship in my country in the 80’s that did the same thing. Censored movies, books, music. Only the news they approved could appear on TV.
The joke of the modern century is that we took a bunch of the fascist tendencies of the prior century and simply privatized them.

You think Russia is communist?

Yeah, but only for the 99%. The 1% gets capitalism.
Wait. Just like China…funny that.

So for the 99% there is an abolishment of private property, leaving only personal property and public property, everyone has an equal share, and the state has been dissolved?
Because if not, at least one of us doesn't understand communism. It's entirely possible we both don't. Would you be willing to clarify the term as you understand it?
