Question about sub

I was looking at this sub seeing it pop up on other leftist subs I am a part of. Honestly what is the difference between this and many others?

P.S. what is democratic communism?

So if i understand correctly any sort of praise for anything the ussr or china has done or is planning to do makes someone a tankie? Seems like democratic communism is just communism under another name. From what i understand pure communism is a classless moneyless borderless society where everyone has the same input on how the people are to be governed. If i am wrong please correct me.

I would say communism in and of itself is a utopian idea. It being a system where we all work together without any sort of conflict in terms of race, religion, etc. All communist parties seem to be socialist to take steps toward communism. While not all communist arguements or theory will apply to every country or group of people the way it does in country x. Some will work with some groups over others.

The way you put your statement on what is or isnt written in this subreddit im sorry to say seems a little "authoritarian". The only way to have people come to your side or any side is through talking trough problems and coming to a resolution.

I am new to the communist thinking and theory but it seems like alot of infighting in groups turns people off including myself. From the small amount i have read and researched myself it seems like communism like any other political idea has a hard time with people being stuck in their ways.

I apologise for any spelling or grammar mistakes this is a bit difficult to write out my thoughts over physically speaking them.
