Have you noticed that almost every argument you have is based entirely on what other things you think communists think, as opposed to anything about what communism actually is?

Your entire ACAB argument is totally unrelated to both me and communism other than the fact that you’ve decided that’s what communists think.

Your chain of reasoning was:

(1) Communists hate police (???)

(2) Communists only hate police because they don’t work for them

(3) Police have power

(4) Power corrupts

=> (5) Communism is bad

1 & 2 are both just random bullshit you’ve decided is true about communists

3 is true

4 is true

5 is totally unrelated to 1, 2, 3 & 4

The problem with that is that power always corrupts, not matter how good its intentions

Well yes, that’s kinda the entire concept of communism. A huge part of its goal to equitably distribute wealth is that it reduces the power imbalance caused by the huge difference in wealth in capitalist economies.
