      Communism relies on the government controlling everything to function. It requires some level of authoritarianism.

        don’t make me tap the sign

        bolshevism is not communism

        you’re focusing on a single form of government and saying it’s the only way communism could exist when a lot of scholars can’t even agree on if it should exist within the discussion of communism or if it should just be considered socialism, or if its coalescion of authority was extensive enough to just be another example of another capitalist society.
