    Communism is a flavor of authoritarianism. You can’t tell me that the USSR valued freedom.

      USSR (and China, too) didn’t even have communism. It had socialism and strived for the communist world in the future.

      Stalinists et co are not the totality of communist thought, despite how much as they tried to portray themselves as such.

          Mao is a Maoist, and the CCP claim to be ‘the sole heir and successor to Joseph Stalin concerning the correct interpretation of Marxism–Leninism and the ideological leader of world communism,’ and I think (hope?) we can agree that Stalinism is not communism.

          Mao only split from the Sovs because the Sovs became slightly less Stalinist under Khrushchev.

          What’s it like having even /c/conservative think you’re a right-wing nutjob? Do you think the entire world is a leftist conspiracy out to get you, personally?

            Most conservative is just random Lemmy users finding it.

            And no. Lemmy is a itty bitty part of the world. Why would I think it’s a world-wide leftist conspiracy?

              Oh when you said “No wonder the left is upset, their propaganda department is being shut down.” over USAID being ransacked by fascists, I just assumed you thought the entire world was a leftist conspiracy.

      Only in the ways it’s been implemented at the state level so far. Which, admittedly, may be the only way it can.
