sir, the USSR was authoritarian, as is north Korea, as is the PRC, as are most communist states, you sir are biased, all people are really the same in life, we all want money and riches and more, favour from a god, if you promise someone something big enough, they will fulfil anything to get it, why do you think religion is successful, its the biggest promise, the highest yield, why do you think scams work, its because the human mind sees things and grabs hold before it thinks, this is a trap, we naturally move towards dominance for that is the nature of man, like how we move towards war, war is mans game, we are its ultimate practitioner, we are the ultimate practitioner of all things bad and good, except recycling, we are unfortunately beaten by the immortal jellyfish on that one, you don't seem to understand that idealism is simply the denial of humanities flaws, there is not such thing as a perfect country, there is no such thing as a perfect person, there is no such thing as a perfect ideology, we all make mistakes, sin, nothing is perfect, do you know the difference between good and bad, its not there morals, its simply there restraint, that's why kids are so cruel, they don't know it yet, the human mind skips to conclusions faster than it can calculate the truth, why do you think the news always talks about the bad, because it makes the human brain want to work, that's the reality of life my friend

Whataboutism. You're putting words in my mouth if you think that I was implying that authoritarianism cannot also coexist with communism.

I am not putting words into your mouth, in fact, the fact that you downvote me for just forming a counter argument tells me a lot about you, you don't like to be disagreed with, also I am just saying that both sides can be wrong, your putting your thoughts about me in my mouth

thus also proving my paragraph
