    You can argue if they had sunshine scenario communism all day, but they certainly was under the oppressive thumb of USSR.

      Do not feed the troll. Strange fellas, lying on the internet, arbitrarily defining communism to suit their rose-colored ideology is no basis for a system of debate.

      True debate stems from a knowledge of history, past events and conditions that led to them, not some farcical comment (as the one you are replying to).

      If I went around in communist times claiming I knew what Marxism-Leninism was just because I read a manifesto, they’d send the secret police after me.

        You are right, I just couldn’t help it the bait was too great.

          That’s a whack article whose author is pretty confused. Antihierarchical action is inherently not authoritarian unless you are creating new hierarchy. Also isn’t it convenient that our system of liberalism is good and just and normal people believe it but only crazy dangerous psychopaths believe in a ideology founded on liberation from the forces that oppress us.

          There are plenty of articles discussing how capitalists are fucking psychopaths too.

      I didn’t say anything about communism being good or bad there, just that none of those countries ever lived under communism.
