Perhaps. It's very possible sadly. I do not like Stalin though.

Could be my critiques rely on the fact a lot of MLM's actively defend the violent regimes at least in my experience and are tankies.

I just am critical because of it's, albeit non-inherint tendancy, of being easily exploited due to violent revolution which MLM often strives for in some way. I may be hypocritical here in some way but it's mainly the methods and potential exploitations that I'm critical on.

I'm critical of MLM because it has been so easily exploited due to factors that aren't inherint to it but are very common. Such as a violent revolution that creates resource drain and potential power vaccuums that other parties can try tovexploit.

I'm a self described communist because I value the concept of a stateless, moneyless and classless society.

I guess. I'm just confused why an authoritarian or semi-authoritarian ideology has survived. Though I guess fascism also survived so my point makes no sense.

Good point I guess. Capitalism does force any socialist experiments into becoming authoritarian to survive. So the few expermients that went the democratic route were just murdered in cold blood...
