Just a heads up, you were lied to about what communism means.
Who lied?
People richer than you and their useful idiots.
Society broadly. π€·
The oligarchs in particular paid the propagandists to brainwash everyone
Well that's rather indeterminate.
Mostly because it's dependent on who told you "Comunism is a flavor of old-world authoritarianism, based upon the idea that mankind is incapable of choosing the right thing, so the right choice is instead mandated by law."
A good working definition of the ideas of communism is democracy of the work place and the economy. As it stands work places are dictatorships run by bosses that effectively have unilateral control over all choices of the company. Socialism and communism are built on the idea since workers are the ones actually doing the work that make the money and bare the brunt of the choices, they should be the ones making the choices.
Really it's actually capitalism that supposes people are too dumb to make their own choices or know how a business is run, and thus shouldn't have say over company choices.
