For communism to work it must be free, and organised by the people
from the bottom up.

THe state will never wither away, because power corrupts.

Authoritarian communism is really just state capitalism, it still
perpetuates classism and stop people from organising directly for
themselves and there communities.

Communism lends itself to Facism, or at the least tyranny
(as does capitalism ) becasue the nature of the state is to
take mpore and more power and for people to become more and
more reliant
