Authoritarian communism certainly is, no disagreement there. But in America, everything left of the GQP is branded as "communism" these days, including stuff that is considered a basic part of the system in Europe like public, affordable healthcare.
If Americans were able to debate the successes of European policy - and that includes even part of what the former GDR did, like providing access to childcare for mothers so they could work, or provide access to safe abortions - on face value, without resorting to "but that's communism!!!", your life would be so much better.
