considering that all “communist states” to date have been oligarchic autocracies

And you think that is a coincidence?

Considering how America is moving towards that same state, with it’s Republicans?

No, I don’t think it’s a coincidence. Oligarchic autocracies can occur under any circumstances where a power-hungry elite manage to wrest control by using the masses as “useful idiots”. The Conservative leadership, in general, have learned this trick very well.

oh im not defending by any means the unregulated system of the USA, my point was against communism, not in favor of something else in particular.
