The previous comments were specifically talking about communist "regimes," and I clarified what I thought they meant to say. You shifted the framing to be pedantic, unless you genuinely count hippy communes as communist regimes.

Well if that's what you meant, then no shit a "regime" is authoritarian -- that's basically true by definition. But that just means your comment was tautological and vacuous, so what was your point?

Ok, swap out regime for a country. Show me a country where communism has run well (as in not an authoritarian state).

Answer: none
