More specifically, Stalinist/Maoist/any-other-„communist“-tyrant-ist. It refers specifically to people who excuse/deny tyranny and oppression caused by anyone who calls themselves communist.
As I said, communists/Marxists. Marx was an “authoritarian” socialist, and by far the largest strain of Marxism in the world is “Stalinism,” aka Marxism-Leninism, the second largest probably being Marxism-Leninism-Maoism.
