A word has a meaning in the dictionary and historical context related to that word, and then it is like sometimes some people start to use it to mean something else.
If a group of people started calling the grass red and the sky yellow, people would tell them they were wrong, mixing up the colours.
If then they come with an argument saying nonono, ‘red’ is actually this color, green is the colour of the cloud - there is more than one meaning to it!
Well… we would all get confused in the end.
At the same time, the basis of communism itself is not a “bloody” ideology. It’s rather a utopia and whenever a country actually tried to implement it, it ended up as a totalitarian regime with a lot of blood.
Because in order for the utopia to work, individualism must be given up, in order to make the outcome uniform.
There are a certain set of decision we all make on a daily basis (those of us who don’t live under repressive regimes), for example what an individual does in life, or consumes, in extreme cases how many children they are allowed to have etc.
In communism, these decisions are made by the state (the big ‘planner’, based on plans and targets) instead of on individual level. So it’s ALL top down rather than bottom up.
And when people don’t like it, well… They have to be removed, they are dangerous for the ideology.
This is why such states always operate with extensive and rather brutal secret police. Better safe than sorry 🤷
Thank you
