I take no issue with chewing out modern communist sympathizers. Communism is a utopian, unattainable ideal for society that has failed miserably in every society that has attempted to replicate small scale tribal camaraderie on a national scale. Magnitudes more people than were killed in the Holocaust died as a result of Communist regimes that never advanced beyond the Proletarian Dictatorship stage. People had little freedom to specialize or better their lot in a society where exceptional talent was spared to barely sustain the collective. Even in modern China, nobody can leave, protest, or complain without fear of violent retribution from the omnipotent state that invariably arose from communism. That certain people in my university still condone this totalitarian ideology deeply disturbs me. I'm not saying they should be imprisoned or censored or infiltrated by COINTELPRO, but sympathizers should be called out and ridiculed like racists and Neo Nazis trying to jumpstart the Fourth Reich. With almost no exceptions, explicitly communist states have acted as a conduit for totalitarian violence and human suffering on a level surpassing even Nazism itself. Communists of Reddit, tell me what went wrong with well intentioned communist governments throughout the last century and how your proposal wouldn't yield the same outcome. Einstein said the definition of insanity is repeating your failures hoping for a different result he may as well have been defining communism.
I believe Communism has spelled nothing but authoritarian disaster in practice, and anybody seriously endorsing it in the 21st Century should be ridiculed profusely
