Large-scale, actual communism with no authoritarianism? Not that I'm aware of. It's hard to implement true communism effectively on a large scale because most people have to care enough about others to willingly contribute for it to work.

Authoritarianism is a meaningless term that people with lack of capacity for rational thought regurgitate. Every single government holds authority by virtue of having the monopoly on legal violence. The only question is whose interest the authority is exercised in.

That's just bullshit. Authoritarianism has a clear-cut definition that goes beyond "the government has authority on legal violence" and you know it.

This isn't reddit, please be respectful when disagreeing. You're not going to win any converts by alienating people.

Why didn’t you apply that critique to this:

thoritarianism is a meaningless term that people with lack of capacity for rational thought regurgitate

Did you simply not notice the alienating language there, because you agreed with the sentiment?
