    Communism without a dictatorship is yet to be seen at large scale. That would be interesting to compare.

    And you also dont have to go ALL IN on communism. You can absoluty choose sectors, that will never be private, and have private sectors that will be regulated by giving the workers more power and owners much less.

    There’s so many nuances.

      Communism without a dictatorship is yet to be seen at large scale. That would be interesting to compare.

      It has actually been seen, and currently exists today. See the autonomous region of Rojava in Syria and the Zapatista territories in Mexico. Both were founded on anarchist principles.

      Additionally, by definition, communism cannot exist under a dictatorship. That’s why all of the “communist” dictatorships actually say they are socialist, and claim to be working towards a communist future, which is obviously bullshit. All nations founded on Marxist-Leninist principles inevitably become one-party dictatorships because they don’t go all in on communism. You must immediately abolish the state for communism to ever work.
