As i always say its not the communists its the tankies. Communists want a different economic system but still agree on the equality of people and they can either want an autocratic or democratic system(from what i see simple communists usually want democracy). Then theres the tankies. They support full autocratic governments that are usually not even communitst like china and want a violent revolution. Often times they are even transphobic. Its the one group of people that annoys me more than nazis because they are basically nazis but on my side of the political compass. Also im socdem and have to explain to everyone that no that is not communism but tbf most people dont like communism because they teach its bad and not because they got to the conclusion with their own knowledge.

Communism != Democracy.

You are maybe thinking of socio democracy.

For the tankies, spot on though.

Edit: what the hell people, communism is power to the people through revolution, there's no fucking democracy in it.

Democracy is democracy, not communism smh.

Edit: In a democratic way I guess, all my comments were removed. Lots of commie bots here lol

on the contrary, communism is the final form of democracy.

capitalism != democracy because capital owners have a disproportionate amount of social, economic and political power, if not all. in a capitalist society the laws and police are there largely to protect and preserve capital and not you.
