But also, communism isn't bad either.
It's basically advanced socialism, not whateverthefuck stalin and mao were doing. It's like how the full name of the nazi party was "national-socialist worker's party", obviously the nazis aren't actually socialists, the only reason they use that word is because people at the time actually wanted socialism.
