> Being a communist absolutely makes you an evil person.

Tell me you don't know what communism is without telling me you don't know what communism is.

Yes, every known communist country has been rife with fascism, authoritarianism, and corruption. But those are orthogonal with communism as an economic model. It's like saying socialism is evil because the Nazis were socialist (they really weren't) just because "Socialist" is part of "Nationalist Socialist Party" .

[citation needed], because this sounds like an extremely gross misinterpretation of a situation, likely done deliberately in bad faith.
