I don't think a single person who objects to the current parallels to communism would take issue with "holding people in power to account," they just wouldn't characterize the current problem as such. The objection seems to be more along the lines of:
- we disagree with characterizing people as being "in power" in accordance with extremely imprecise identity groups
- we disagree with restructuring liberal society to be instead be focused on reparative justice in accordance with who has most competently argued on behalf of their identity group's victimization within society
- we disagree with constituting consensual economic relationships as abuse of power
- we disagree with the mechanisms by which and degree to which people should be "held to account"
