@conceptualjames communism also believed growth is good, and that it would do growth more and better than capitalism. The whole reason why workers of the world should unite was because they could get more growth, so much growth and hyper-abundance as to usher in post-scarcity for a leisurely prosperous future. The marxist idea was that the only reason a huge amount of growth wasn't happening for everyone is because capitalists were hoarding all the capital.

Now that communism has been shown to only create evil empires with little or negative growth, in the biggest pivot of "sour grapes" the world has ever seen, they've decided that maybe growth is actually a bad thing, which is why we need communism.
