What constitutes "fairly?" Maybe because I am on Lemmy.ml and thus can see Hexbear and Lemmygrad, I don't think I've seen many people genuinely refusing to condemn horrible or tragic events within Communist countries or by Communists. Perhaps a vast minority, but at that point, why is this even an issue in the first place?

Are there examples of "good" Communists that aren't tankies that you can point me to?
