    Learned from growing up in a communist dictatorship: don’t discuss politics and religion with strangers. And even with friends or acquaintances, don’t discuss it in writing. It doesn’t mean you can’t have strong opinions, but don’t make them public. Talking (not writing) one-to-one or in small groups eventually toppled almost all communist dictatotships, so there’s absolutely no need to broadcast your opinions, unless your goal is to be martyred.

        Well, there is no such thing as communism with a dictator. It’s simply two opposites.

        Communism is without a state. Meaning no true communist country have ever existed in modern time.

          Please don’t argue theory definitions with someone who lived through the reality, its just straight insensitive

            They are arguing the definitions with someone who was “arguing” with someone who lived through the reality
