      Why indeed would communists downvote an “anti-communist fighter”? Truly a mystery for the ages!

        Like actual communism ever existed. What we got were authoritarian dictators that basically ran a kleptocracy and slapped a “communist” or “socialist” label on it. Facets that looked like the labels were lip service or token at best.

            Human history is littered with self interested strongmen who are willing to sacrifice those who disagree with them in their climb to power. More so, there are those who aid and abet them - and we get to experience that in the US now - with reasons varying from prejudice to tribalism to misplaced revenge.

        Not a communist, but like you’ve ever known lol.

        It’s a pretty big hint you don’t live in commie-topia when the glorious leader is feeding orphans blood transfusions from his mega-palace while Nixon assures everyone he’s one of the good ones.

      The C is for counterrevolutionaries, I understand. Of course as a group, it also encompasses cops.
