Inb4 the obligatory "but that wasn't 'real' communism" claim.

Nice to know someone can label themselves as a specific ideologue, run it into the ground while maintaining no actual practices relating to said ideology, and ruin it's reputation forever because keyboard warriors misapply the no true scotsman fallacy. Don't even have to use your brain now, just target and dismiss the meme on the basis of it being parodist.

If someone is going to dismiss all communism because of 20th century totalitarianism, then the only appropriate argument for that is inherently an anti-populist avenue, that communism gets exploited by those only seeking power.
