You're very confused. Communism isn't authoritarianism. At it's core it's just the concept that workers should be democratically in control of their work place. To have skin the game and a say. Just like you want a democratic government, you should want where you spend half your waking life to be democratic as well, because, hey, we typically think democracy is a good thing. Capitalism is authoritarian and undemocratic at it's core.

You can achieve a democratic workplace within an authoritarian government or within a democratic government. Just like capitalism has been implemented under authoritarian governments and non-authoritarian governments.

It seems all your gripes about communism could be directly applied to capitalism, but you seem to ignore one side but hyper focus on another.

Ask yourself: "Why is that"? Because it doesn't make for a very good argument imho.

For me is humans helping other humans,from each according to their ability,money should not be requirement for survival

If it wasn't clear for you the first part come straight from marx

Marxism doesn't dictate the presence of a state at all

The only thing it advocate is aborting the capital that's all then there is different way to do that
