i guess the problem we have is the eagerness of leftwingers to disassociate the totalitarian regimes of russia, china, north korea etc from a true embodiment of marx & co's version of communism (which is completely different to any the governments i just mentioned) seems to come off as a trivialisation of the experiences that people had living under those regimes, because it seems to most people (and not without reason) communism is synonymous with poverty, terror and suffering
