Afaik this happened with every single instance of a communist country. Communism seems like a pretty good idea on the surface, but then why does it always become autocratic?

What is an “oligarchy” in your views, and how does it differ from a “Marxist government?” In my opinion, the USSR, Cuba, PRC, Vietnam, Laos, etc proved to be examples of Actually Existing Socialism, and not “oligarchies,” as all were/are governed by mass parties and democratically controlled both from inner-party democracy and democracy from the masses. “Oligarchy” implies absolute rule from the few, which is incompatible with the really existing examples of mass parties and democratic institutions. Taking the PRC as an example, the CPC has 96 million members, along with 8 other parties that serve advisory roles, and elections are held openly. In what manner is that an “oligarchy?”
Moreover, how can you simply refuse to elaborate on any of your claims that I critiqued? I didn’t critique to silence you, but invite you to actually defend your claims.
