    You can be a communist without being a tankie.

    I’m a Libertarian Communist. Small groups of people helping each other with a small government in terms of social control.

    A gobwnrmwnt sole job should be to help those that need of, not control peoples day to day lives.

      That’s closer to anarchism then communism. Communism, as it’s generally developed, has a central state authority.

      Personally, I see the existence of a state and individual liberties as always under tension. You can’t have a state without some infringement on individual expressions. But some restriction on individual expression is necessary for a functioning society. The question is what infringements and under what circumstances are acceptable.
