Are there examples where communism did not turn into authoritarian?
- FFP999 3y agoIs that pertinent to whether or not China is currently communist in anything but name only? No.
- Justin_K 3y agoI'm genuinely curious because all we hear about are the bad examples
- guidoism 3y agoI’ve been wondering the same but maybe we only have these examples because the only successful attempts to forcefully take power away from the capitalists has been by authoritarians.
- snowpid 3y agoor maaaybe communism is just not working.
