The communist version of this meme has someone with a whip and sword standing behind them and telling them to work for the benefit of the people or die

This is called projection, especially since capitalism itself was built with ongoing slavery and genocide. The only people who should fear communists are the bourgeoisie and their running dogs.

And farmers who own their lands, and workers who want unions independent of the state, and political dissidents, and a thousand other groups

farmers who own their lands,

which burned their crop because they didn't want to collectivize causing food shortages

and workers who want unions independent of the state,

which were ultimately used by the west (solidarnośc)

and political dissidents,

Unlike any other country

and a thousand other groups

No u

the bourgeoisie and their running dogs.

You're a political dissident if you live in a capitalist country. You in jail?

You think society should improve, but you're not in jail, so society is perfect. Checkmate commie smuglord

I'm just saying, you assert capitalist countries would do the same as communist countries with political dissidents, why aren't you in a capitalist gulag for speaking against capitalism quite publically?

Look at what happened actual organized dissidents like Fred Hapton, MLK, the Black Panthers, the original Black Lives Matters organizers in Ferguson etc. if you want to see what the US gov does to dissidents. We're just people on a reddit clone, they don't care
