(10,056 posts)Obviously your understanding of history is soft.
So what is communism exactly? Is it the state regulated capitalism or the serfdom economies that have used the name 'communism?'
Communism is the collective ownership of production. None of the murdering dictatorships that you listed, Soviet Union, China, Kampuchea, etc were communist economies.
And I would be careful about throwing around statements like "authoritarianism and dehumanization is baked into that ideology at its very core." The same can be said for capitalism as well.
So I'll pass on your bullshit red baiting and demonization of an economic theory and political movement that in both the US and Europe gave us 40 hr work weeks, child labor laws and other social advances in conjunction with trade unions and socialists.
As for the post-script of your post; Fail. Clumsiest. Insult. Ever. Bravo!
