> core tenant of communism
Yes, that is why Lennin and especially Stalin were made into godlike figures. Mao is a prophet/father of the china also painted as infallible. And lets not forget about North Korea... ummm Peoples Republic that is Celestial Dictatorship.
Marx was rolling in his grave when 'communism' was implemented across the world's nations.

- me_me_me 6y agoYou know that animal farm ends with comparison of soviet communism and modern capitalism. “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.” Funnily that line was cut out of american version... go figure.
- raverbashing 6y agoAh yes, it was never "true communism", the favourite excuse of the more extreme left. It kinda matches the "everything I don't like is communism" of the most extreme right.
- pessimizer 6y agoNo, it matches the "it's not true capitalism" of the extreme-right libertarian in being absolutely true according to the ideology that they follow. It's not an excuse, but something you can verify by reading the thinkers they follow. If I change my name to "Mr. Real Democracy," people who believe in democracy aren't forced to take responsibility for my crimes. The "everything I don't like is communism" isn't even extreme right, it's the entire right. It has nothing to do with beliefs, it's a pretense to use violence to suppress political disagreement. It's akin to the "everything I don't like is fascism" of the woke liberal.
