The difference being that you are allowed to speak out and show your
disdain for our government, within reason.  Very few communist countries
have put up for very long with citizens who speak out or show their
disdain, especially if it starts to draw crowds.

If the Summer of 2020, or 1/6, had happened in a Communist country, the
government would have very quickly turned on the protesters.  The leaders
would have been killed or "disappeared," and hundreds others would have been
killed or banished to some labor camp.  There are plenty of historical
events to support this, while there are very, very few that support a "no
they wouldn't" point of view.

Yes, those things can happen in other types of governments, but they are
very close to a given in a Communist one.
