I hate to tell you but I think you're confusing communism with
authoritarianism.
Communism - A theoretical economic system characterized by the
collective ownership of property and by the organization of labor for
the common advantage of all members.
Authoritarianism - Characterized by or favoring absolute obedience to
authority, as against individual freedom: an authoritarian regime.
