No they really don't. None of that is in any way related to what Marx said or wrote. None of it has anything to do with what actual communism is trying to achieve.

Absolutely. But what Marx said or wrote and the reality, an actual execution of his ideas are two different things.

So if they're not actually Communists or advocating actual Communist ideas you shouldn't be calling it communism.

No no, they were actually communists. One-party Marxist–Leninists advocating actual communism. But it didn't work. Circa 100 million people died in the process. Utopias don't exist.

No they weren't. There's never been an communist country. Just ones that have called themselves communist. If it's not stateless, classless and moneyless, it's literally not communism. I can call myself a dog lover but If I viciously kick every dog I ever see am I actually a dog lover?
