We see the results of Communism in the USSR and North Korea. Nobody wants that hell.
That's the result of authoritarianism. Not communism.
Communism is inherently authoritarian. Essentially the voluntarism aspect on scales on the level of something like Israeli Kibbutzim. As soon as you go larger than that, you need the boot-heel of the state to enforce it.
There's More than one kind of communism. Yes state Bolshevik communism is inexorably tied to authoritarianism. But the fact that you can't imagine a communism that isn't. Isn't a problem or failing a communism. It's a problem or failing of your understanding /education. So I am quite interested for you to explain it to me how small c communist style communes etc such as hippie communes Bohemian communes are inherently authoritarian. Good luck!
