you do know almost every dictator in fiction is "based" on the Three Evils of politics? (Nazism, Fascism and Communism) : it doesn't MAKE the character any of those things..

almost all Dark Lords / Evil Overlords would be Fascist (or Nazi if particularly brutal) but it is impossible to label them as such if the setting they are in doesn't have those ACTUAL political theories in them.

how can one be a true Communist in a world where Communism (as humans know it) was never founded? Equestria is not real world, just because a character has strong Stalinist ideals to us doesn't mean she actually IS that.. because it is a Fantasy World.

Glimmer is just an Evil Ruler who happens to mirror the qualities of some communist stereotypes, just as Sombra mirrored fascism and Discord mirrored anarchy.

the ONLY political system that is 100 percent canon is monarchism, not surprising since it is a show that focuses mostly on fantasy rather than politics : if we went by real world thinking Celestia is an Autocrat, an Absolute Monarch.. but we're not.. she's not viewed a "God Ruler" like she would if MLP was true to "real world".. neither should Glimmer be viewed as "Communist" just because she has similarities.

until Hasbro officially states she is an actual, 100 percent, Communist we should treat her as a typical Lawful Evil fantasy villain.. who happens to mirror aspects of communism.. but that alone should never be enough to add "communist".
