Socialism and communism are not something you can equate to one another. And there has never been a democratic communist country. They all turn authoritarian. Commies don't live in reality

They do not all “turn” authoritarian, and there has never been an attempted transition to communism without military and economic intervention by other capitalist nations. Then again, I can take your exact same rhetoric and apply it to capitalism: There’s never been a capitalist country that didn’t rely on slavery.

There’s never been a major political system shift in any country without external military and economic intervention. That’s a strawman.. But sure I’ll entertain you. I’m not defending capitalism.
