Yes, the tyranny of workers owning the factories they labor in. Collectively owning the businesses they work for, everyone having an equal voice in government.

And before you chime in with nonsense, Lenin and Mao both decided that some animals were more equal than other animals. They betrayed the ideal to hoard power to themselves, to make themselves the most equal of all, and their people suffered for it, because that's what authoritarianism does. Stalin was worse in every way, taking the mask off fully.

All three killed actual communists who wanted a free and open society, a democratic communism of the people, by the people, for the people. It's where the term Tankie comes from. Stalin used tanks to put down the Hungarian revolution, see, Hungary wanted to be communist, they just didn't want to be a soviet buffer state. They wanted their own government. So Stalin ordered the tanks in, and Tankies in western nations cheered.

They cheered again at Tiananmen Square.

Because actual communism is always a threat to authoritarians, be they mask off right wing, or the ones who pretend to be "lefties" while actually agreeing with every single thing western conservatives say, but with a different country worshiped.

Speaking of, both China and Russia are fully capitalistic now, they went mask off a few decades back. Because capitalism is a great way to promote that inequality that authoritarianism demands.
