So you're saying the people who think everyone deserves a good standard of living lack compassion?

The people who want to impose a tyrannical dictatorship do, yes

But communism isn't a dictatorship. Karl Marx defined communism as stateless. A dictatorship can never be communist.

The old book says a thing, I guess that means the Soviet Union and every other communist country never happened or didn't count because of totally legitimate reasons. Thank you so much for clearing that up.

If you're going to believe propaganda that says the Soviet Union was communist, then you'd better be fair and believe the propaganda that says North Korea is democratic.
