It's the worst thing people have ever come up with.

I'm not sure OP, your posts run it pretty close.

Yes, of course Communism is good. Or has the potential to be good. Depends on the flavour you go for. Leninism can be dismissed as a failure but we've got so many other takes on the idea of "each according to their need" which haven't had many opportunities.

Communism is so 1917, the intelligentsia is all about Communalism now. There are two new letters, and they indicate an evolved political philosophy that is less susceptible to corrupting influence, please get with the program, comrades.

Anarcho-Communism has even more letters.

Communism is democratic, which is why communist states are always non-democratic. They just keep using up all their democracy juice on worker ownership of companies, there's none left for letting those workers freely assemble or vote.

Communism can describe a whole mish mash of ideas, most of which aren't Leninism-Stalinism-Maoism you silly soul.

I thought consensus based decision making had to be unanimous? And then anarchists wouldn't really believe in forcing someone to accept a decision like that anyway, right?

No? And sometimes, depends on the anarchist.
