my definition is extracted from history. My country went through violent repression, censorship and other shit during communism. It's easy to float ideals of non violence while you are not in power and dealing with dissent.

Does that history predate this: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/franz-mehring-the-bakunin-marx-split-in-the-1st-international
bottom line is that communism brought endless suffering to millions of people just in my country. Talks about ideology are hollow without looking at how communism actually played out:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collectivization_in_Romania repressing the peasantry
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danube%E2%80%93Black_Sea_Canal forced labor on megalomaniacal projects
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Re-education_in_Communist_Romania unspeakable suffering for political dissidents
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bra%C8%99ov_rebellion violent repression of the common people ( that communism should in theory benefit )
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_Revolution the price in blood the people in my country had to pay for freedom.
What I am telling you is that any ruling system that uses violence to attain its goals cannot be communism by the definition of people that were there when the word was being defined for the modern era.
Marx was a tool of the banks.
Bakunin split with him in 1868.
The definition you are using is the bankster definition.
You know marx's name because the banksters want you to know his name.
The same reason you know this book, but not this one.
The bohlsheviks, the propagators and popularizers of the definition you use, coopted the rhetoric of communism, but ruled as authoritarians, the antithesis of working together to improve the common lot in life.
You can read about how that played out on the battlefield in this book: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/voline-the-unknown-revolution-1917-1921-book-one-birth-growth-and-triumph-of-the-revolution.
Tyranny is the opposite of communism.
the ruling party was called the Romanian Communist Party, their words not mine. I may not fit your definition of a clown, but if I call myself a clown and others start calling me a clown, then ... you get the point :)
Yes, yes, clowns get to clown around, but politics is serious bidness!
All rule making is a word war, definitions are important.
They hid the doorway out.
Quite devious of them.
It's like cognitive dissonance, unless you are aware of the concept, your chances of being a victim are higher.
