You missed the point entirely. You can’t with one side of your tongue say there are no true communist societies while saying there are true capitalist countries with the other. Every country exists through a combination of both free market and government intervention in the economy. Yet, for some reason, only the platonic ideal true communism counts as communism, but the applied version counts as capitalism. I’m a leftist myself, I just think the double standard is fucking idiotic.

Communism isn’t government intervention.
