I mean Communism per se is a very good thing, but Communists are not, because they always totalitarianize a country, China for ex.

The traditions... Not only communism. Like the democracy. Orban in Hungary, for example is now ruling like a dictator almost...

Because of the previous culture and history of the people. When the culture and history are different, there is (almost) socialism in countries like the Scandinavian ones, even without officially they call it and want to build it consciously. It just happens when the certain people have got the right culture, conscious, habits...  Now notice something important: when a country has not enough democratic history and democracy culture, the result (totalitarianism, dictatorship, etc is the same: for example Russia killed the communism, started to build capitalism and ended up as a dictatorship (neu-feudal type, like China now)...

Yeah, you got it! For ex, Russia's Русская идея explains why Communism resulted as Totalitarianism in Russia lol. And I think China's confuciusian ideologies also explain why it also resulted as that in China.

And now in Turkey (Turkiye) is almost the same (like in China, Hungary, Russia, Sirya.)

Some Chinese do have democracy. The Chinese in Taiwan, Singapore...
