No no, putting more effort into crushing left opposition than the capitalists is actually the highest expression of socialism

There's a good joke I heard from a friend about Communism:
There are plenty of communist societies which have existed throughout the years, though. The Sovs being fascists with a coat of red paint doesn't change that.
I wouldn't say fascist.
Reactionary, enthusiastic about killing communists, generally not super big on the value of human life, hyperauthoritarian and imperialist, with a death spiral similar to fascism, but not fascism. That's a specific thing.
Not at scale though. Humans are hell in large groups.
The kind thats not reactionary enough for the cia to give it a pass.
"The kind that only works on a small scale."
Something like it is currently functioning at a scale larger than some states in several places in the world. Its sorta how the group that kicked ISIS in the dick while turkey tried to exterminate them (and has so far failed) organizes.
