Yeeesh banning online sales, they really really wanted to go full scorched earth

Only on paper. Practically, it is what you are seeing today - erosion of all freedoms coupled with government involvement in near everything. Communist governments were/are tyrannical. Show me one that has not gone down that road???

They all have unfortunately, because humans are awful.

Communism is just the wrong word for what's happening right now and the more people misuse it, the less educated the speaker seems and it becomes easier for pro-government forces to write off any valid points being made.

If you call deeply oligarchal capitalists "communists." All they have to say is "no we're not", and they'd be factually correct, you'd look like a kook, and the argument is done.

Nothing these lizards are doing is "from each according to ability, to each according to need". We're losing freedom and not getting any free bread or cheap rent. It's the worst of both worlds.

Communism has never worked anywhere, ever and has always devolved into tyrannical bullshit also.

The crap we are seeing is the birthing of a thing called "stakeholder capitalism" (courtesy of the WEF). It is like a form of socialized "corpotacracy". It contains many overtones of socialism and so many just refer to it as communism in slang or vernacular. No need to get pedantic about terms. The bottom line...its not in our best interest and neither is communism.

Finally, someone gets it.
