          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?

      Unfortunately it’s not just communists states. It’s authoritarians.

      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.

      “Governments” like this won’t tolerate anything they see as a threat to their control of the country.

        Americans spend most of their high school social studies, econ, and english lit classes being gaslit into believing there’s no difference.

        The joke of the modern century is that we took a bunch of the fascist tendencies of the prior century and privatized them.
