  Can you give direct links? No one can discount your feelings but without any examples or evidence then we can’t understand.

  I’ve grown up under a communist government in a socialist republic…

  Huh? That’s a very roundabout way of describing a communist state. Where do you come from specifically? You can count communist states on your fingertips.

  ideology, like all ideologies, is scary for its intolerance and disregard of human nature…

  I don’t think that’s what the word “ideology” means. Also it’s dangerous and unproductive to off-handedly remark on “human nature.” It’s a bad faith psuedoscientific buzzword that’s rooted in uncontextualized historical analysis. Nothing happens in a vacuum.

  I will therefore gatekeep any pure ideolog, just to save my own faith in humanity.

  Again, I’m not quite sure what this means. I think you’re conflating a lot of things here that just don’t make sense and I dont want to make any assumptions about you. No community can ever be immune to reactionary politics, but thats not the same as rejecting “pure ideology”

  Wannabe communists

  There’s a lot to unpack in that one. First of all, how do you even gatekeep being a communist? Surely you don’t hold a degree in Marxist-Leninist thought? Nor are you a hexbear yourself.

  Or perhaps since you have this perception that we are all petite bourgeoisie (mostly white) in the imperialist core that we can’t actually be communists (ignoring how paradoxical that is)

  Perhaps communism in your mind is only for the “orient” and global south. Those in the “West” must just be play acting.
