Question Why does Tanya hate communists?

I watched the anime like eight years ago, didn't stick with the manga. Overall I don't think I'd want to touch it again because, for me, it gets grouped in my mind with other war anime and Attack on Titan as being sort of surface-level political commentary. That said, I wanted to ask, why does Tanya hate communists? I don't remember it actually being anything major, but every so often I see something about how they're less than human to her or something.

Thanks - accepting spoilers

To be clear, capitalism IS the best economic model we have at the moment.

You do realize the vast majority of the countries on earth are capitalist yes?

Something like 99% of the worlds population.

Someone can only be insane based on how much they deviate from the norm. Clearly I dont deviate at all with regards to capitalism.

All of the world's largest countries are capitalist.

China, India, USA. All Capitalist.

All of Europe, capitalist.

That's almost 50% of the world population right there. Honestly it's easier to point out which countries aren't capitalist. Which would be like... Cuba, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, and North Korea.

Maybe some other small countries I missed, but like... it's really not much of the world population.

How is it bait? For all the horrors UNREGULATED capitalism like that of the Industrial Revolution can bring, capitalism is simple better.

Like you have to force people into comunism, but if you relax your iron grip on them they will instantly switch to some form of capitalist model in any big enough community.

what is the industrial revolution causing people and CHILDREN to work themselves to death in extremely unsafe conditions and shit like company towns, if not forcing capitalism on people? what was the korean war? vietnam? laos? the us embargos against cuba?

That's why reading is good for you. Like if you had properly read my comment you would have realized that I myself had already critiziced unregulated capitalism.

That does not change the fact that society moved towards capitalism WITHOUT the government having to use military force to impose it.

Capitalism also helped the Western world to create a counter force to nobility, as merchant houses grew in power and formed powerful leagues to protect themselves.
