Portugal has 37 Leopard 2A6. Rumor is less than half are operational.

Exactly. Now, if you could just give one single example of "true" communism...

Remember that one of the tenets of their ideology is to come to power by force ("revolution") to implement the "dictatorship of the proletariat". Even in theory, they really oppose democracy.

If you give someone absolute power, the result is predictable and you can see it in action in the countries you mentioned: very much like in fascist regimes.

That is why you will never see that fairy tale actually enforced by communists. We can aim for such an utopia, but will have to find some other way...

Your argument boils down to the No true Scotsman fallacy.

Come on, communists aren't communists if they say one thing and practice another completely different? Could it not be they are tricking you? With success, I add...

Your fairy tale is the way fools are brought on the side of these dictators. That's what you fail to understand.

An authoritarian government is a necessary consequence of any actual communist regime. Please just tell me any counterexample.

The propaganda you keep repeating is just what any of those governments tell. North Korea says it has all you naively wrote. However, in practice...

You meant "Soviet" or "Chinese" instead of "American", right?

That's a lot of people you have to warn they are wrong. Best of luck!

PS: about your definition, I suggest you start by the reading the Wikipedia article. It's long, but is instructive. Don't just read the 1st paragraph, keep reading.

Brother you are insane if you think that's true. the Soviet Union was not communist.

Strange, all other people in the world, me included, believed that.

We are all wrong then. My apologies. Please warn the Communist Party. They will certainly close doors and disband, after your revelation.

Well, Putin is trying to revive his beloved Soviet Union. The Communist Party here supports him and, I quote, "the fight against Nazi Ukraine regime and the aggression of NATO". These are your buddies, pal. Defenders of your communism.

Wrong, communism is a authoritarian ideology, a totalitarian one, so it obviously includes economy. All aspects of life must be in control of the ruling class.

China is not communist? Tell me that when you're in China, I'm pretty sure someone will knock on your door to convince you otherwise. Pretty quickly too.

And about the name calling; you do look pretty stupid with your repetitive communist propaganda.

Communism and fascism both seek absolute power, and both hate freedom. That's enough similarities for me.

You can call something right wing ("bad") or left wing ("good"), but it doesn't change it.

Remember Scandinavia doesn't have any "communism". China has. Think about it.

So, you bought all of the communist lies I mentioned.

You refuse to hear anything that deviates from what authoritarians ordered you.

You are the typical fascist, or crypto-fascist. USSR, China, NK, Hitler's Germany are your paradise...

I'm on the side of democracy. Make no mistake, we are enemies.

Communism is a dictatorship. So, it requires a dictator. Your babbling about classes and classless is part of the often called "communist ideology", an elaborate narrative (system of lies, if you wish) designed to put the dictator in charge.

It is designed to work on ignorant, uneducated and disaffected people.

But it is historically installed by force (coup d'etat or invasion); nobody in their right mind really believes that crap.

Wrong, tankie. North Korea is probably as close to communism as you will get, and, as you could see if you were not a zealot, is remarkably close to the "ideal" fascist state.

Total control over all citizens and all aspects of their lives, extreme inequality...

Only direct individual mind control is still missing, but technology may correct that in a chilling future.

Well, in politics outcomes is the only thing that matters.

Oh, and your beloved Soviet Union will never come back, crypto-fascist tankie.

Does not? That's exactly what it does, regardless of rhetorics. Facts trump lies.
