    Saying a state is Communist is shorthand for asserting that it’s on the path to achieving Communism. It’s an uncharted path with many obstacles so just saying “X government did this bad thing therefore it’s not communist/socialist” is very unhelpful, and it really only makes any sort of sense in the context of arguing on the internet

      It’s an uncharted path

      No, it’s not. This is thoroughly charted territory. It just inevitably leads to more capitalism.
