Afaik this happened with every single instance of a communist country. Communism seems like a pretty good idea on the surface, but then why does it always become autocratic?

    Pretty decent comment here

    I disagree with calling Chile a communist country (Allende had barely achieved anything by the time he was killed, thanks to huge opposition from reactionaries) but otherwise that's a good and lib-friendly way to shut down an anticommunist bit.

      I like how the lib below them says “Yeah those incidents were bad but the US is still less authoritarian than China because people are calling for a socialist revolution on this site and aren’t jailed.”

      Clearly they have never seen a local PD infiltrate and jail a tiny anarchist group.
