If under communism everything is shared, that would have to include political power.

So that would make communism a direct democracy. Which communist country was a direct democracy?

This is so Reddit it's not even funny. Dude, go back to that filth of a place where people can't even determine what Communism is, what Socialism is, what Right-Left winged politics even are anymore. Because all I'm seeing is just finger pointing and everyone going off on their own personal definitions of what's what, not the universally agreed definitions of these things.

Hell, I barely even know these things too, but I'm not about to go around proving to people that I don't know what they are by opening my big mouth.

If you've never lived in a communist state you're much more likely to favour communism. People who have (lived in communism) don't.

'Mercans believe that social healthcare is communism - until they get seriously ill whereupon they opt for moving to a 'communist' country: UK or Canada or go for the US healthcare provider called gofundme.
