I agree. But I don't believe that someone saying they're a communist means they want to resurrect the USSR, especially a young person who's grown up in this country with a failing economy and declining public services.
It’s quite possible to go and live in a communist way. Living in a proper self-sufficient community, on some peninsula of NZ or something. Nobody needs to die.
..... however you could make the same argument for National Socialism.
Really? National Socialism relies on their being an "other" to be better than. If it was just a bunch or aryans on an island together they would have to find something else to hate on or think they're better than.
