    Well if you don’t want me to blame communism for the harm, then why argue with me about the harm as a proper and necessary part of communism?

      Your point was that socialist states that protect themselves aren’t “proper,” and are posturing as though they are terror regimes.

        It wasn’t.

        My point was when comparing capitalism and communism, that it is unfair to act like these systems operated independent from each other and no action of either of them were influenced by the other; That the communist harm in that comparison is purely communist and wholly part of and consequence of communism.

        Because if the harm isn’t wholly part of and consequence of communism, the harm is not pure communism, or as i phrased it, “proper” communism.

        Edit: and if you wonder why i didn’t talk about the influence of communism on capitalism instead, well can you really point at the harm of capitalism and tell me how communism influenced it?
