“communism” IRL is more like vanguardist fascist dictatorships under leftist aesthetics.
I lived in one of these “communist” countries, its actually just a state capitalist hell, practially zero social safety net, zero free busses, zero free childcare, zero free lunch, internal border control, a very “papers please” environment, just more government oppression.
Reason why these failed is bexause of the lack of democracy, the vanguardism has failed it.
Mamdani is not a “communist”, he is a Democratic Socialist, he believes in democracy. We have already seen success with “socialist” policies when they get implemented under a democratic system such as in Norway, for example.
I commend you for having balanced views despite living under “communism”, and being unlike the cuban migrants that see anything slightly left of center and turn into the flashback cupcake dog.
