But Communists hate hierarchies. That's the point. Stalin saw the world through class warfare, but Hitler saw it through a racial/jewish one. The end result is they didn't get along.

And after WW2, it was Communists who funded militias to attack South Africa, Portugal, Israel & Rhodesia. They're just not interested in race.

Communism to me always seems like a scam to me. There is no explanation why a socialist state would transition into full blown communism. It doesn't seem like people with power would just give it all up after ruling the entire world. Also, ethnic conflicts would immediately happen after the decentralization and people would form corporations to take over territories. Having everything one person needs doesn't stop people from taking someone else's stuff. See Black people as a good example of this in action. They have more wealth in consumer goods than poor White people but they still loot and steal during their "riots". I don't know, it just seems like a ruse for one group to take power at the expense of everyone else.

I know they do. I'm saying if they were willing to compromise on that, a lot of their other demands would be met.
