    By installing a dictator…every time it’s attempted…

    Not entirely accurate. The collectivist movement in Spain did not involve installing a dictator, though it was vulnerable to being dissolved by outside forces, and this unfortunately did happen.

    Also look up MST in Brazil, which afaik involves no dictator and is not an authoritarian movement.

    There’s also the Sandinista (FSLN) party in Nicaragua, which still exists but would have probably been more successfully without the US trying to derail it every step of the way.

    I mean now that I think of it – the Zapatistas in Mexico.

    Not sure all these groups would use the term “communism,” but they all aim for a stateless, classless society, so I fail to see how that’s not a fundamentally communist goal.
