Great argument. What do you base this on?

It’s like china calling itself communist right now.

Yes there was rhetoric in the USSR that suggested they were but it was an instrument to legitimate the horrible things that they did to their people.

From en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_society

A communist society is characterized by common ownership of the means of production with free access[1][2] to the articles of consumption and is classless, stateless, and moneyless,[3][4][5][6] implying the end of the exploitation of labour.[7][8]

That was not the case. It was state owned, as the transition from whatever system was there before to socialism plans. Communism is supposed to be something different.

I am not arguing that it would be good or better than anything we have today but am saying that we never saw communism in the modern world.

Change my mind with arguments and not down votes.
