      Communism and Dictatorship are opposites and not compatible at all. Communism, by definition, demands the “withering away of the state”. Putin is just a right wing dictator. He envisions himself as Russia’s literal Tzar, right down to using the crest on his massive estate compound. He has no interest in communism in either name or form.

        No shit. That was the point. They’re all about how bad communism is, but are in bed with a guy who wants to bring the ussr back together. Communism doesn’t work because it turns always into a authoritarian society. The joke was that the repubs are in bed with a state that was all about communism back in putins day.

          ML is an authoritarian ideology. And despite liking to use the word communist, isn’t.

          Actual communism can work just fine. Authoritarians just fuck up everything always. Regardless if they pretend to be right or left.

            Communism can work just fine on paper…but never will work in real life because people are just that. People.
