    Didn’t you hear? China’s been one gigantic people’s union since 1949. That’s the whole point of Communism. As you can see, it’s working swimmingly well.

      Tell me you don’t know what communism is and can’t recognise a dictatorship under the guise of communism without telling me you don’t know what communism is.

      I imagine that you’re from the US? If so, it’s understandable. Dr. Strangelove was what opened my eyes to how demonised it is and how misguided people in the US are to its true ideology and meaning.

      The USSR, where the gov controlled most of the means of production, is the antithesis of communism.

        Sarcasm. The comment you replied to was being facetious. Obviously things are not going swimmingly. Use your context clues.
