- We can talk about Communist Mao Zedong of China in their Government controlled dictatorship

- We can talk about Communist Fidel Castro of Cuba in their Government controlled dictatorship
- We can talk about Communist Stalin of The Soviet Union in their Government controlled dictatorship
This is why during even this current 2024 election you saw Rachel Madow, Angela Rye, and other CNN correspondents about "preserving institutional economics"
And why there was such an uproar with the Democrats/Left community that Trump is attempting to abolish the Department of Education, Federal Government workers, and other Government entities

Seriously Ho chinh ming, because being one of the greatest military leaders in mankinds history his communist label was largely done to gain the support of the Soviets and Chinese Red Armies.who themselves were very illiberal and hierarchical

Examples please.
