    The soviet union was authoritarian state capitalist (as opposed to market-capitalist). It just called itself communist, even though the Soviets (worker’s councils) were suborned to the party very rapidly.

    Inform me about countries that have implemented communism and weren’t heavily oppressive.

      They literally all copied the soviet union’s homework (Marxist-Leninism), there are other theories that haven’t had the chance to be tried. Like Council Communsim, Syndicalism, Libertarian Communism, Anarchism, etc. The failure of Marxist-Leninist countries proves Marxist-Leninism doesn’t work. It doesn’t prove that communism doesn’t work

        The problem is: who is willing to bet their country on an experimental system that could turn out better but could also turn in a totalitarian system?

      A tankie would be defending the soviet union. Tankie =/= communist. Tankie = authoritarian communist
