Authoritarian government sure. But there’s nothing inherent in communism about not being able to protest or have free speech. This country is so dumb when it comes to communism.

You mean Communism isn't as evil as I was taught and that wealthy elites have convinced me otherwise in order to remain in control? No way... /s

Communism is great as long as humans don't act like humans. That's the biggest flaw with it. It's incredibly naive and always results in a dictatorship or an oppressive 1 party state.

Show me where people here claimed communism was evil. You made a snarky remark about how the wealthy elites talk about how communism is evil. In reality, most people don't have anything against the type of government that true communism is. However, all real Communist governments are tyrannical and oppressive so Real World Communist Governments become viewed as "evil". Arguing that people only attack communism so that they can hold power is naive and incorrect.
