Russia cyber attacked America in 2016, Germany bomber attacked Britain during ww2.So Churchill being friendly with Hitler after an attack can be likened to Trump being friendly with Putin after a (granted much smaller and more covert) attack.
Churchill and Hitler were engaged in actual war. America and Russia are engaged in cold war.
Prove we are in a cold war, and I wont accept "They attacked our democracy."

None of those 100% match his textbook definition of communism, therefore they're not really communism and thus don't count.

Yeah, I just don't believe you lol. This is not something it would be out of the ordinary for you to say in a 100% serious way.

It has always struck me as odd how some people can be so against Hitler and nazis and fascists and yet when it comes to communism or socialism it's like they don't even care that it has caused much more suffering lol.
The more I think about this...the more disturbing it gets.
This just seems like sheer insanity.

Marx was not a dumb person and he was highly intelligent as well as very well-educated.
Communism, as he outlined, was a path with various phases.
Pure Communism, as we know it today, is the ultimate end-goal. It, of course, is a pipe-dream, because it requires all acting elements within that system to be selfless. It is how Jesus Christ taught things SHOULD be. It is what Mormons tried to do but failed to do (due to selfishness and greed causing the system to fail). It would be, for sure, a utopia without concept of ownership where every entity acts in the best interest of the community.
As inimalist and I discussed years ago, it would most likely require a rewiring of the genes. Some of our survivalism traits operate directly in opposition to key behaviors needed for a successful system of Pure Communism.
