    We should normalize hating anyone of thing with hundreds of millions in wealth. The disparity must be called bs everywhere.

      So the communist leaders of the last twenty years MADE THEIR MONEY IN POLITICS are much more to blame as a SOCCER MILLIONAIRE… Right ? ⚽👍👍👍

        There are no communist leaders. Communism is an economic model not a governmental methodology. The term has been abused. To claim otherwise is to claim North Korea is a Democratic Republic.

          There is no communism without a dictatorship. Nobody is going to donate everything they make to the collective, if there’s no threat of gulag lingering around.

            People do it all the time. Look up social libertarianism and anarcho communism.

            Marxist Leninist are the authoritarian ones. Actual communists dislike ML too. They are at best nominally communist. By virtue of naming their authoritarian party “the Communist party” etc. But they largely reject actual communism.

              But are there any working examples? I know there were some attempts at creating communes in the US. It usually ended up by people arguing so much that the group dissolved, or a charismatic leader taking over, which lead to a whole bunch of abuse.

                Plenty of places in the world were doing just fine until the US interfered with endless sanctions and/or backing coups by those that would be more us capitalist friendly.
