I would say I’m more of a democratic market-socialist, with a strong preference for “consent of the governed”, and bottomless contempt for arbitrary authority.
Let’s, for a moment, sidestep your interpretation of the definitions of previously mentioned political parties, economic systems, or forms of governance. I don’t agree with much of it, but that’s irrelevant.
In my post, I am referring to those who outwardly refer to themselves as “socialists” or “communists”, but on closer scrutiny, are apologists for mass-murderers and are just really bloodthirsty tyrants waiting for their turn at the pig-trough of unchecked power.
The idea that those who claim to be on the “left” are infallible, incorruptible, or morally unassailable is incredibly naive, given the weight of history and what we as a species know about human group dynamics.
Simply put, one must always be wary of those who seek control. Especially, when they want it without question, permanently, and require adulation for it.
Sure, sucks you have little to know idea who those people are or the fact the worst mass murderers in history are currently in power and will never be removed from power thanks to apologists like you that uncritically consume their propaganda, assuming they have no reason to ever lie.
Glad to hear you’re a communist and what you wrote was just ignorant bait.

That’s a communist, read your theory.
I have.
Then you know democracy is the foundation of communism and socialism and has market economics.

Make sense?

And who am I “apologizing” for?
