Because Communist governments see any opposition to communism as a threat to their power, so they do not tolerate dissidence even if they claim to tolerate dissidence. It’s just another example of the paradox of tolerance.

How is freedom and self-improvement “opposition to Communism?” Do you have the slightest idea what you’re talking about?

It might not be opposition to communism the way Marx envisioned it, but it is absolutely opposition to communism the way communist governments have envisioned it
