He claimed it.  I am saying it is not necessarilly an end goal but is the
means by which they reach their ends.  They were not my goalposts to move.

That is like "a square is a rectangle, but not all rectangles are
squares."  In this case, the "square" (Communism) is always a "rectangle"
(authoritarian), while other forms of government or economy might be
rectangles or might be other shapes entirely.

I would rather try one that might be another shape than the one that is
always a rectangle.
