Overwhelming majority are brainwashed into believing all these lie claims, like “dictatorship”, “enemy of freedom”, “taking away and dividing”, “all poor”, etc, etc.

Yeah, the whole ‘Starlight was a communist’ meme still annoys me sometimes.  
But it gets tedious having to explain why Stalin wasn’t a communist, either.

There is only sitting like a human.

Thanks to some unsuccessful practical implementations, when the ideas of communism were processed and distorted (and western propaganda), people believe that communism was related to authoritarianism and the cult of personality. In fact, Marxism is an absolutely anti-authoritarian ideology hostile to any personality cult. The whole theory of communism is based on the control of the masses for the great goal, not individuals. Besides, communism leads to the withering away of the state, because it will be no longer needed.
 
And Starlight could make a discussions with Twilight about it. Wouldn’t that be interesting? Yay dialectics!

Then season 6 explores the concept of how Communism is unobtainable and leads to dictatorships and breadlines. XD

“Communist” ideas of Starlight was the only thing, that made her interesting…  
In the end of 5 season why couldn’t she just understand, that her experiment with cutie marks was stupid, and start searching for another way to built equal and happy society? Establish councils (soviets), labour unions… Ain’t it a good thing?

Funny yet sinister.

Only Princess Celestia know what’s best.
