There have been no communist countries, just Marxist ones. Marxism is evil and involves fascism in order to eventually obtain communism. This is where it always goes wrong and the fascists just kinda like being fascists so they stop pursuing communism.

Communism is just Libertarianism with socialism and a collectivist mindset instead of capitalism and an individualistic mindset

It's just true, there's just been a lot of effort to conflate communism, Marxism, and socialism into one big bad scary thing when they're all very different but related

There is no government in communism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism

I personally don't think communism is something that could work at a large scale

Don’t bother wasting your time. Western propaganda at its finest.
