Other people understood that I was being sarcastic as well.

Well you got me. Maybe im not in the mood for jokes. I am so tired of having these conversation. It makes me so sad to see people supporting these countries.

Russia and china are not examples of a good government. Neither is the usa. I feel like im taking crazy pills.

Why did you single Sankara's Burkina Faso out when speaking of exceptions to authoritarian communism

Because i know about him and agree with many things that he did. Not everything, but he didnt build an imperialst nation. He fought for literacy and nutrition and anti corruption.

He didnt build a survelence network or invade another nation to my knowledge.

He fought for his people using the principles revolutionary communism and ML. This I support.

Just like i can recognize that the CPC does provide many valuable things to it citizens . While also recognizing that they are still authoritarnian.

Rephrased: If your one exception to "authoritarian communism" is a government that was overthrown by imperialism, what does this say about the use of authority in revolutionary states?

I dont know. Im not here to tell you how sankara could of avoided assassination. But I do feel that acting like Sankara is the same as the cpc/russia in any real way is kinda absurd.

Cuba is better example of communism than cpc. Once again they have problems.

Ultimately i am an anarchist, i dont think communism is the solution long term, but i would work with communists, As long as they didnt support large authoritarian governments.
