Pretty much all communist regimes have been dictatorships. What's your point?
Source: Western propaganda
I didn't know reality was western propaganda, those pesky Americans!
The truth is somewhere inbetween.. not "reality" like you claim it is.
I'm not sure what in-between there is for "a lot of communist and socialist countries are just as if not more authoritarian than their capitalist counterparts"
The point being made is that the criticism being made doesn't apply to capitalism in any way that it wouldn't also apply to other economic systems.
Nope, the truth is in the left and not the center 😎
