The key and central response to the question of communism is to simply understand that communism is inherently vampiric. It requires a host to survive.

Any example of its attempt in human history has required mass infusions of food, wealth, materials, and capital goods to function, and those were universally supplied from without.

The communist state may initially persist for a brief stretch as it cannibalizes, always figuratively, while sometimes literally, the humans and resources within its domain. What inevitably follows is mass death, sometimes directly, but more often due to mismanagement of agriculture, resulting in famine.

There is no true metric for “success” in communism other than being labeled so after the fact. Of course, this never takes place, for, by the very nature of communism, failure is inevitable. All failures, which are universal in communism, are branded as “not real communism,” which leaves open the idiotic and utopian dream of communism eventually succeeding.

In a "true communist society", communist as in USSR, you aren't allowed to own a business, any business whatsoever, not even a grocery store. Every single business is state owned, no exception.

Now in that regard, china is much closer to nazi germany than the USSR. In china you're allowed to own and operate a business, any business as long as it doesn't go against the party line essentially, as long as it's not deemed subversive and/or antagonist to the nation's best interests/objectives, as defined by the gvt. The gvt can confiscate any business it wants, whenever it wants, just like in nazi germany.

Also, chinese are covert racists, or rather, very ethnocentric but at the same time there's no openly stated racial position in their ideological framework, it's still very communist leaning in that regard. Their flag also, is still very communist and at the same time, they have little to no tolerance for "marxist students", that's the irony...

The reality, is that you can't advocate for communism of old in china, workers rights and shit... Because guess who's in the hot seat now? Well, the ruling class of course, as usual...
