Rent and price controls are not features of communism. In communism there's no real estate.
Definitely got the social democracy vibes going though.
Huh? You are claiming that communist leaders DON'T set the wages, set the prices, OR distribute the wealth?
Socialist leaders would, absolutely. Bro, communism is moneyless.
But to your point, If governments don't set prices, corporations will.

Wait until he finds out that the United Soviet Socialist Republic was an authoritarian socialist state and not actually communist at all.
I mean, they were also pretty shitty at being socialists as well. Nor were they really a republic. So, yeah. Words are fun.
One of the most egregious things our government did in the 50s and 60s was their complete and utter misinformation about what communism is. That's why we have a shit load of Americans that can't tell the difference between communism and socialism.
