Yeah. You seem to be putting all things bad on one side and labeling it communism.
There are specific definitions of each of these ideologies and there can be some overlap certainly.
The will of the leader, dictator, king, khan, emperor, etc, was the norm for most of our history, but it wouldn’t be considered communism.
As far as the Ethiopian changing his skin color or a leopard changing his spots it refers to character. Megalomaniacs don’t change their desire to be admired or feared and will often use anything to achieve it.
I’m basing my views on what I see and read, i.e. the actions compared to the words of all the left-wing ideologues in question. And you are basing your assertions on . . . ?
Based on what I read and what I see, it is not merely “some overlap”.
I agree that Jeremiah 13:23 is a comment on a man’s character; certainly Mussolini’s character was unchanged from his long years as a communist, said communism being all over his repackaging as fascism. No doubt he had read Engels.
