And yet you're the one here bringing that up, not me.

It is irrelevant if it is "real communism" or not - it remains an objective fact that all of these regimes have derived their ideology from one very specific branch. In fact, all of them make a big fuzz over exactly that, and all of them had a history of brutally persecuting supporters of other communist ideologies.

You don't need to support any of them to recognise this. I did not make an argument about the desirability of any of them at all, very intentionally.
