Which Communist regimes would say are the "real" communists? Because if you think (as many do) that every single mass movement that described itself as "communist" was bad, then I suspect you're not a communist at all.

I'm not communist, but I do observe that many of the existing "communist" states seem to be just authoritarianism disguised as the common good

All nation states are authoritarian disguised as the common good.

yeah, exactly. which raises the question of why china specifically infuriates certain people to the exclusion of all other discussion.
