It’s funny how basically all common anti-communist cliches are just utterly nothing the second you start engaging with the actual reality of what’s being discussed. Like basically anything your average mainstream Liberal could say about Communist Theory comes off as nonsense if you’ve read even the most basic works of Marx or Lenin, while any comments they have on the actual practice of Socialism are dispelled if you’ve read any history of the Soviet Union or China that wasn’t written by a raving anti-communist. Like so many people’s hatred of communism is only matched by their ignorance of it
