The road to hell is paved with good intentions. I'm not sure subjugation of Communist states by force would have lead to a better outcome, historically.

I just find it fascinating and a bit sad that authoritarianism is often seen as somehow better, if it comes from the left.

If people truly value democracy and freedom, authoritarianism should be opposed regardless of its underlying political color.

This is exactly the train of thought I had thrown at me by another commenter who was insistent on bringing up the fact that the right wing is "worse" somehow. You're right, it is very disappointing to see.
