    Communists are liberals, it’s funny seeing how many liberals in the fediverse use it as a slur. Even the anarchists look down on the anti-government people.

    And yeah Libertarians are liberal as well, the problem is including everyone else that isn’t authoritarian.

        See you don’t know what the term liberal means.

        It has nothing to do with capitalism.

        Communism doesn’t have a government, that makes them liberals.

          Liberalism is an ideology supporting private property and individualism. Communism doesn’t have a state, but it does have administration, which some consider government, and communism lacks private property.

            Private property in the sense the government can’t seize your home or car or rollerskates without due process. It is not the main caveat of liberalism, which is pro liberty, aka pro human rights. It is an ideology independent of economic system

            If you have an administration then you create a class struggle that will lead to oppression.

            You have private property because the state (public) doesn’t own it, the people do. (That’s private since you seem confused)

                Can the administration control what the commune does? Laws? Policing?

                If so then given time the people who seek it will elevate that position.

                Public ownership under communism doesn’t mean the government (or administration to use your term without a difference) owns it. It means the population has control over whether it is helping (keep) or hurting (remove) society. And the workers are at the forefront of that not politicians or owners.

                You’re aware that liberalism views landowners as a scourge of society because they make money without adding anything to the world but you cannot view said viewpoint from a communist perspective.

                I’ll give you another crazy idea; political parties/governments are corporations. They will put their own survival above that of the people they represent.

            Yes but it’s a range. The more liberal, the less power government has until it doesn’t exist.

            At least in the political sense of the word.

      Why do you feel confident to speak on a subject you have clearly spent zero time informing yourself?

        Communists aren’t authoritarian and the concept predates communism. (Communism is a reaction against oppression so arguing criticism against oppression is anti-communist doesn’t make sense)

      Ngl I don’t blame anarchists. Public schools explicitly said “communism is when government doess stuff.”
