They probably don't like wagner (cuz nazis).

A lot seem to enjoy punk (but have trouble because nazis)
Anyway, most "communists" are either cringy social rejects who need to make themselves feel important or ivory-tower tier academics with some form of sociology degree. You should probably stop giving them attention.

communists don't like music, or art, or entertainment, or knowledge, or prosperity, or anything good in this world and seek to destroy it all

Perhaps if you don't believe that the Soviets count as Communists but come on, the state sponsored the classical tradition far more than the west did in the 20th century. Of the great composers of the 20th century, many came from the USSR, such as Shostakovich, Prokofiev, or Pärt.

the USSR didnt like good classical music apparently
I used to go on a leftist chat and 90 percent of the music played was classical. In my experience /pol/s taste and understanding of classical music is soccer mom tier.

Wagner was a leftist for his time and good friends with Bakunin.

Wagner was pretty liberal in his youth but as he aged he became increasingly reactionary and inclined to extreme nationalism.
