since all real-world outcomes of communism have been consistently horrible, and since communists killed several of my ancestors - no, I am not going to look for nuances. If nazis should be punched, so should communists.
Maybe if North Korea suddenly turns into actual paradise, I'll reconsider.
all real world outcomes of communism? Really? China being a dominant super power? I disagree with the regime, yeah, but that's a pretty black and white statement there. The left spectrum stretches as wide as the right-wing one, and communism has influenced all of them ideologically via socialism and social democracy or directly via unions. MLK was a socialist. So was Einstein. Would you stick to your statement?
Love your China example! Germany under Hitler also was a dominant superpower, if you forgot. So you just reinforced my point that communism is a totalitarian aggressive ideology, pretty similar to Nazism.
So yeah, _all_ real world outcomes, definitely
I too enjoy the China/Hitler comparison. The corporate press, Hollywood, recently the NBA, etc. are all openly supportive of China. So apparently China is not far enough left to warrant being labeled beyond the pale. I mean, how much further can you go?
