Afaik this happened with every single instance of a communist country. Communism seems like a pretty good idea on the surface, but then why does it always become autocratic?

… Dude, I don’t know if you’ve heard about this thing, but it was pretty big. They called it “the cold war”.
I didn’t say they didn’t overthrow Communist governments.
You may have heard of this thing called Iran? They aren’t picky about who they hurt.
The argument for Iran was that Mossadegh was “turning towards communism”. Same for Allende, same for Arbenz. Hell, just the concept of “domino theory” was all about stopping the spread of communism. Pretending they were some sort of equal opportunity saboteurs is deeply disingenuous.
