    Communism is just a desire/plan for having democratic control over the economic sphere as well as the political sphere. The authoritarian stuff is just some people taking a more rapid/paternalistic approach to achieving it.

      This thread is just getting better.

      Communism is not authoritarian, you’re mixing up dictatorships calling themselves communists with communism.

      Words are important.
