Throughout history Communists have served as enemies to the fight for liberation from state violence. From the Soviet counter-revolution which created a new form of exploitative capitalism to the communists of fascist Italy who abandoned militant anti-fascism contributing to fascism’s success. Communists have no genuine concerns other than power acquisition, expansion, and retention. Fuck power, communists are enemies of liberation!
