Contradiction of terms

[alex_antonin]

Every war we've fought since after the end of WW2 has been either to fight communism or for profit. Which is really absurd because there hasn't been a single truly communist country in the entire history of the world. Every country that has claimed to be communist has been abusing Marx's philosophies to found fascist governments masquerading as communist countries. It hasn't been a very convincing ruse, either, for anyone who knows anything at all about actual communism. People who actually know what communism is know that communism and authoritarianism are diametrically opposed. Calling an authoritarian country like China "communist" is like claiming people engaging in genocide are with the peace corps.

"Authoritarian communism." Ha! What a contradiction of terms. Might as well talk about "fucking for virginity" or "violent pacifists."
