    Tbh I can see how communism is a pretty romantic ideal utopia but when you look at the people proposing communism it’s consistently been used as a sort of scam to take power and the freedom of the people that they rule over its like the geopolitical version of saying hey I’ve been trying to contact you about your cars extended warranty

      Even when there are serious people reforming systems to provide more rights and equality they jump in and sell a more radical version to take power. It also doesn’t help that the KGB used that as a signature move to install pro soviet dictatorships. Personally I’ve always thought democracy would be the stable way to move to the left. But we need to have actual education and get past the neo liberals drip feeding us reforms.
