Marxism is anti-utopian, it’s based on analyzing how societies evolve over time. What is deemed “authoritarianism” is the need for the proletariat to exert its control over the bourgeoisie, rather than the reverse, yet bourgeois rule is more authoritarian.
But it will exist for me. My favorite communism is extra authoritarian. I love having a state to rely on. A state that fights against evil for me, a state that provides me with what I need, a state that gives me a meaningful job.
I lived in post sovier counties with USSR time ages,so I know pretty well what it was actually.It’s awful and never should happen again,but I didn’t say that I like capitalism too they both authoritarianism in extreme limits
This echoes my concerns every time someone (especially under the age of about 40, especially American) praises “communism” (as if it were one thing) with some kind of absolute adoration.
In this case, OP: how did that justice work for the political dissidents sent to gulags?
The vast majority of people sent to prison by the soviets were criminals, thieves, murderers, rapists, etc. The political prisoners were largely members of the White Army, fascists, monarchists, or were active terrorists against society. For a country that went through a revolution, resistance from the older owning classes is expected, other revolutions were similar in use of force against the monarchy and other ruling classes.
Communism will never exist ,it’s utopia ,it becoming authoritarianism very quickly.We need other real alternatives to what we have now

I guess it will never exist for you then

I recommend you don’t get your information about communism solely from devout anti-communists

“i lived in a formerly socialist place that had been looted by capital, therefore communism is bad”
The majority of people who lived in the Soviet Union want it back. Your complaints about socialism don’t make any sense, either.
Sounds like you’re the one who expects utopia
