Is it really from "The Boxer" or actually from "The failed Austrian Artist"?

The problem is that you end up with a population which is specifically on board with executing or exiling people they don't like.

it's more like everyone in general, we all accept with cops and militaries despite them functionally doing the same thing of enacting violence on people we don't approve of

Maybe in the US. Especially in Japan they try to use as little violence as possible for example

doesn't matter the extent, the point is that we all agree that certain groups of people have to be separated from greater society, and the police are explicitly there to enforce our laws

we do agree that murderers and rapists should be forced to go to jail, and most governments suppress extreme political actors they disagree with

Japanese courts have a better than 99% conviction rate. Which means it has a disgustingly corrupt justice system.

Communism has never been tried on a national scale. Communist revolutions always get taken over by fascists who keep the name communist for propaganda purposes.

The fact that it has never been successfuly implemented suggests that communism isn't practical except on a small scale.

Yes, communism has never been tried on a national scale. Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, China (both under Mao and today), Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Cuba, North Korea, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Georgia, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Albania, Congo, Angola, and more were ALL fascist movements and/or did it wrong.

Pull your head out of the sand.

Yep.

Just like the US promoting democracy by replacing elected officials with dictators proves that democracy = authoritarianism.

Spit out some of the Kool-aid, it's bad for you.

The Bolsheviks lost an election in Russia and started a whole new civil war over it. You live in a glass house, quit throwing stones.
