It is because communism (in the sense being tankie) is far less radical than what we actually need. It is just imperialism with some red aesthetics. This is not the way, this is surrender.
Communism is inherently anti imperialistic. Maybe read a book before you spread red scare propaganda.
Do you mean the communism's ideal or actually existing "communism" of "anti-imperialist" USSR? I read about both and live in a post-soviet country.
I feel like the communism that everyone associates with communism are just dictatorships hiding behind the name. Pity people now think that's what communism means.
If everything is shared under communism, that would include political power. So that would make communism a direct democracy.
Does that sound like the nation's you have in mind?
If "in the sense being tankie" is not clear enough for you, I do not mean possible communism ideal, but I mean actually existing "communism", like in USSR, which, besides some social advantages, was a red authoritarism.

actually yes.
i see pop up again and again, different ppl quarreling over the meaning of what they say when they use the word communism... the.. ur meaning of communism was what some might call anarcho-syndicalism or similar, and there are some ppl, like apparently sop (though i have no idea what communism means for sop and am merely projecting here) who prefer that word, as it centers around community and avoids talking about anarchism, while some use the word communism to mean what the communist party of some nationstate currently says... or similar "modernizing" takes
F tankies. Be gay, do eco-trolling crime. Stay based fren.
