another thing I noticed lately, is that most of the leaders who are called dictators, are often leaning towards communist positions!

it feels like dictator is a synonim for communist, therefor they cannot call zelensky a dictator cause he loves coroprate shit

All communist regimes are dictatorships, by design.

That's why.

The amount of non-communists dictatorships are simply dwarfed by the spread of communism in the past 100 years. But you can find some, like Chile, Iran, etc...

And yes, it includes Ukraine, a country caught in civil war for 9 years, after a coup.

Or Canada, where Trudeau seize emergency powers unconstitutionally, and used private corporations to seize assets without due process, etc... (a.k.a. fascism, which, like communism, is just a variant of socialism)

well, it is not like this, communism is the base, socialism is a variant of communism, fascism is corporative, it has way more to do with capitalism. Your words seem to be rooting on some of the late XX beginning XXI when fascists started to accumunate communism to fascism. Anyone who claims that, to my eyes, is a fascist

In this sense, the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property.

Ucraine was communist, now they are fighting to become capitalist!

I mean, they kill their own people who are not getting fed by those views!!

Any government is authoritarian by definition.

Those who abide by the rules of one authoritarian system would call the others dictators!

Police is the arm of the authoritarian state.

And it has its roots in the fascists and nazists regimes of the XXth.

Before Mussolini people would have taken the policeman and kidnapp them, and torture them!!!

After Mussolini all countries had a state police, but the bad guy was Mussolini!! lolol

it's all a form of fascism.

communism on the other hand cannot be achieved in one single country, and we never had a communist state or system on earth!!

Why can communism not be achieved by a single country ?

It's the theory of communism. It cannot happen only in one country. That's why Stalin was promoter of the "Communism in one country". In fact, communism in one country must be authoritarian, I agree, but that's not communism. At least not what Marx and Engels theorized, while Lenin was not much into Communism in one country, at least this is what I my knowledge.

here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism_in_one_country

even tho here they call it socialism, I found other sources where it was called communism.

If one reads Engels, he states that there are various forms of ideology which believe in a community type social system, and he described the socialist.

In a communist society there is no money.

Personally I find socialists pretty scary! lol I tend to relate them to social democrats, this in my opinion is not a party, is a disease lololol (just joking, it's a wrongful ideology from my point of view)

Do you agree with the abolition of private property?
