    I’m aware that Stalin’s, Mao’s or Kim’s regimes aren’t what Marx had in mind, and communism has nobler ends. But here’s the thing: each time pure, fair and kind communism was tried on any society, it descended into dictatorship very quickly and without fail.

    So it doesn’t matter how noble the idea of communism is: it’s simply incompatible with humanity, because human beings can’t resist greed, the urge to grab power and hurt others. Therefore, let’s not try it again becasue we all know how it’s going to work out.

      Communists get intervened by capitalists and fascists.

      Dictatorships on the other hand don’t descend, it’s always their main purpose, and the use of leftist ideas is just empty marketing to gather support from the population
