    A lot of it isn’t actually communists, but a facade for spreading authoritarian propaganda.

      This is true. As long as a country declares itself to be economically left, they will defend every single authoritarian action and human rights abuse. Doesn’t matter if the reality is that the state capitalist country produces hundreds of billionaires. Any claim of leftist economics and they will defend anything it does. It’s clear they love defending authoritarianism more than they like leftist economics.

        They’re not paid to like leftist economics.

      🙄 there are communist countries that are not Russia or China, just like there are capitalist countries that aren’t the United States.
