He called himself communist. That doesn’t mean he was it.

Murdering 25% of your entire population and enslaving the rest to work the fields doesn’t really fit into the definition of communism, as far as I’m aware.

Supported by the CIA, definitely not a communist
roguetrick@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Supported by anyone who wanted to shit on Vietnam, so China too.

Every bad communist is magically not a communist
Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
Every actual communist is extremely not supported by the CIA because that’s the opposite of what the CIA exists for, read a fucking book kid

That is true. Communism devolves into autocracy the way it’s been tried, and autocracies always devolve.
Look at fucking China, it’s a capitalistic hellscape.
TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Autocracy is the exact opposite of actual communism. When you use a system to gain power and wealth, you’re not a communist. Even if that system is communism. Clearly communism has a flaw, as again and again people are able to abuse the system to become a corrupt dictator. But capitalism also has flaws, as there are also capitalist states that are being abused by individuals to become powerful and wealthy at the cost of others like Russia and the US.
Same thing with religion. Jesus says do no harm. Christians say they commit horrible war crimes, crimes against humanity and spread fear and hate in the name of christ. When you do that you’re not a Christian but you abuse it for your own gain. This happens in many religions.
I fucking hate religion and I’m not a fan of communism (I’m an anarchist myself) but your comment is bullshit. They’re not a bad communist, they just are not a communist at all.
