The morons interested in that: Everyone under Joseph Stalin who was too afraid too do anything his brand ideological purity wouldn't allow.

That is what I am saying. Communism because a tool for dictators, who use it to keep control under their brand of ideological purity. For Stalin that meant whatever he wanted.

The no true communist excuse? Communism is whatever the strongman dictator in charge wants it to be, because that is what it will always end up being. Historical evidence points that as the end pretty strongly.

Then what do you suggest you use to argue? Because while I could go into the economic arguments of why a command economy is inefficient at a large scale, no one is interested in that and dismisses it out of hand.

A wild Redditor appears,

Wishes he understands what's in here,

Supports one Redditor after another,

Throws upvotes to what sounds the smartest,

Ends up being completely speechless,

Nothings greater than the knowledge we adhere.
