For communists peaceful is a bonus, but they wont hesitate to turn to violence to ensure the success of the revolution.
"They just want to give you what you need and take away the shit that you
don't need" is a
stereotype.
Puritan commies take all the resources and divide them up between everyone, and then expect everyone to work just out of the goodness of their hearts.
Realistic commies nationalize every form of business/industry and then standardize prices at the lowest possible level, and
pay everyone what their job is worth to the state.
They'
re the
two broad ways.
You have Mensheviks & Bolsheviks, who approach the revolutions differently
and u have Marxists, Leninists, and Stalinists, who all have different ideas about what to do after the revolution.
For
people that trys to use it as a insult means that they do not know what is what for example: does not know who wrote the communist manifesto; what the difference is between communism,
socialism, and
marxism and what was the mccarthy era.
