Just out of curiosity did anyone actually read the article before piling in? He does acknowledge:
Having said that, Harbour then admitted that the application of political theory in the real world has led to some of history’s greatest atrocities. “But the fact is that the implementation of these things has led to some of the deepest fascism in our society, so people assume that ‘communism’ means ‘fascism’ to a certain degree,” he said. “That’s a terrible thing.”
I also think it's interesting that the use of "admitted" in that paragraph shades the quote. Using acknowledged/observed/conceded would perhaps have set a different tone.
