@Geri I think you are thinking of Marxism-Leninism this is the common ideology that gets painted with a broad brush as "communism". Just because north korea calls itself democratic and hitlers regime "socialist" doesn't make it so. Likewise, the USSR and CCP are not and have never been communist.

Differences in ideology between Marxism-Leninism and Anarcho-Communism include whether or not they use the state the achieve their aims, whether the proletariat are organized horizontally or by vanguard party rule

Broadly speaking anarchists choose revolutionary strategies and tactics that are aligned with their stated goals whereas marxist leninists tend to use more ends justify the means thinking

AGI/Vista - "Abbiamo 45.000 soldati in Corea del Sud per proteggerci da Kim Jong-un, con cui vado molto d'accordo, come sapete. Avete notato che ha detto cose molto carine su di me? Era solito chiamare Joe Biden una persona 'mentalmente ritardata', okay? Quindi non venite a dirmi le vostre storie. Di Joe Biden diceva che è una persona 'mentalmente ritardata'. È stato così cattivo con Joe Biden, è stato terribile. Ma a lui Trump piace. E avete notato come vanno bene le cose con la Corea del Nord? Molto bene", così il Presidente degli Stati Uniti Donald Trump durante una conferenza stampa alla Casa Bianca. Courtesy: Casa Bianca Fonte: Agenzia Vista / Alexander Jakhnagiev
