    Murdering 25% of your entire population and enslaving the rest to work the fields doesn’t really fit into the definition of communism, as far as I’m aware.

                    They do not care about implementing communism genuinely, it’s a propaganda tactic, you are aware politicians lie, right? This is akin to saying “I’m in the party of building an egalitarian utopia!” And then immediately enslaving half the population. Then you announce actually utopia is bad because this guy is bad. You would have to be an incredible fool to take their word for it and not look at their actions. To think that you think this is an anticommunist gotcha and not a clear case of lying to the public is embarrassing on your part.
