          That’s in every country though, regardless of its economic system. For Communism, it’s just the state that has the authority and power

            Isn’t communism stateless though? And vanguard party totalitarian states aren’t it.

                We don’t really know the second sentence. Any central authoritarian state doesn’t have communist qualities and such a state can’t be trusted on what they claim they are
