Holy crap I recently found this article about a bug's life and thought it was hilarious

It seems to be endemic in certain US circles to confuse Communism with Authoritarianism (which is what that link does). Yes. Stalin was an (evil) authoritarian, and his massacres were done under the banner of communism, but so was Hitler (and so is Drumpf) neither of whom were (are) Communists.
Why are the two things so regularly conflated by Americans ?
Because communism has to be bad,because capitalism gas proven it doesnt have any virtues.
