Comment on Communism

The usual rhetoric is that you shouldn’t look at the dozens of examples, and their consequences (1). Rather focus on the theory, and agree that that theory is perfect. And also that anything else is bad. Unless it’s an attempt at being communist, then the bad things aren’t bad.

What they’re describing is a so-called tankie who claims that they’re communist but instead really they’re just authoritarians who need to feel a little less shitty about themselves so they pretend they do it for the good of all people.
