    Communism by its nature must be combined with authoritarianism so yes.

    But it would be wrong to conflate communism with current western left wing policies.

      Current western left wing values is too broad of a term.

      From great ideas such as equal rights, that goes into the small details. Phrasing questions in classrooms to males only for examples. With great science behind it to show that it in fact removes success bias for males in maths.

      To destructive ideas such as diversity hires.

      From great ideas such as financial help to disabled people.

      To destructive ideas such as forcing small businesses to be accessable with heavy fines that may break them.

      From great ideas such as opposing the Israeli occupation of the West Bank.

      To destructive ideas such as supporting Hamas. Which is a big WTF for me.
