My main problem with communism is that the communists really seem to love genocide. I’m sure some tankies are going to talk about how “oh it’s not really genocide because…” or “yeah but the West…” but in my opinion that makes them genocide apologists. We should be less authoritarian, not more.
It’s always been that way. Some government officials are unelected and therefore not attached to any administration, this is called the “deep state”. But generally administration and government are used interchangeably.
