Well, no you can’t make that equivalent reasoning , that’s my point. People blaming communism makes a lot more sense because it does deal with what the political regime should be (once again, a dictatorship). Who should be in charge, for what political goals, with which privilege, as well as provides all the intermediate steps on how to accomplish that goal. It is not of the same nature.

Since you persist in arguing about "dictatorship" instead of communism, I don't see any point in continuing this.

  I don't understand the sentence "your persist in arguing about "dictatorship" instead of communism". Maybe i wasn't clear in what i meant by dictatorship, but i refer to the "dictatorship of proletariat" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictatorship_of_the_proletariat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictatorship_of_the_proletaria...) which is core to the communist doctrine. You'll probably argue that this kind of dictatorship isn't to be understood in the common sense, but judging by the various communists thinkers that refer gladly to violence, as well as its historical examples, i'd say the difference aren't that clear.

You'll probably argue that this kind of dictatorship isn't to be understood in the common sense I don't have to. Your own link says so in just the second paragraph: Dictatorship of the proletariat is different from the popular notion of 'dictatorship'
