Thank you for your response, I appreciate the time and perspective; I stand by my observation though:
None of what you listed I see as a defining feature of Communism. It feels like some people have heard that "Communism is a bad thing that Russians did", and then they apply it to anything and everything they disagree with or may have centrally-planned authoritarian approaches.
"Centrally planned undemocratic / authoritarian" has so many wonderful implementations and versions, and communism is barely one of them :)
I remain unconvinced to see "USB-C Standard" as a "left-wing communist conspiracy" :-/
- revelio 3y agoWell, I didn't mention the Russians. The Chinese, the Cubans, the North Koreans all do micromanagement of their citizens lives as well. North Korea has a law that regulates what hair styles citizens may have. This way of thinking isn't specific to the USSR. The USB-C standard is fine. Nobody is attacking USB-C in this thread. The left wing quasi-communist stuff comes from the absurd assumption that it is the last word in cable design and therefore it should be illegal to use anything else. That is the sort of planning error that led communist states to poverty.
