Which Communist regimes would say are the "real" communists? Because if you think (as many do) that every single mass movement that described itself as "communist" was bad, then I suspect you're not a communist at all.

I'm not communist, but I do observe that many of the existing "communist" states seem to be just authoritarianism disguised as the common good

All nation states are authoritarian disguised as the common good.
