Authoritarianism isn't exclusive to capitalism. You can have a communist country that is Authoritarian, like China or Russia. But they will fervently deny that China and Russia are Authoritarian, the various human rights abuses and lack of freedom at their feet in order to promote Authoritarian style Communism
They are against Nazis, but they apply that label to just about everyone who is against their views and/or what China/Russia pushes. They will say that Ukraine is completely run by Nazis for example, a propaganda line right out of Moscow.
lmao. Both extremely capitalist: money, wage labor, private property, classes, etc. Read a book.
Perhaps, but the CCP proclaim themselves to be a "communist" country and the tankies believe them even though their actions are, like you said, capitalist-like.
No you can’t, communist countries don’t have governments
These are capitalist countries, state capitalist for China
Ussr/Maoist China at best were socialist dictatorships which I think is what you were referring to
While I can see your point for the second half of your comment
What‽ That's a new one lmao
He's using the term in its proper context instead of casual American.
Communism is a classless, stateless society where the means are collectively owned.
The USSR did not achieve communism, and they'd have been the first ones to tell you that. They would say they were socialist, however, engaged in the process of building socialism.
