Large-C "Communism"
Stalinism, Maoism) does not exist as a political movement in the United States or in Europe.
Russia is now governed by right-wing Slavic Orthodox nationalists and China is a capitalist dictatorship with a ruling party that calls itself
"Communist" but which does not, in practice, hold to any values that could actually be described as communist.
The Left of today bears no responsibility for either those states or for the bloodsoaked perversions of Marxist theory known as Stalinism or Maoism.
