So the tens of millions of people that died under communism were all landlords? Wow, what are the chances of that
Communism is a bit different than what those “communist” countries had. If anything it was socialism, but that still doesn’t fit completely. These “communist” countries are just one-party states in which the government controls the economy. The idea of putting the working class in power is useless if you create a government that can make decisions against the opinions of the working class. Socialist one-party state ≠ Communist democracy
Do you have a real-world example of a successful communist state? Because you may not like it, but those “communist” countries are humanities best attempts at enacting communism and they resulted in millions of people dying.
No. But that doesn’t mean something like a socialist democracy couldn’t be achieved, and if we get rid of capitalism I would still like to have a say in what happens next
