Until now there was no real communism. So called communists called themselves communists for propaganda reasons but they were just state capitalists and bureaucrats. Remember that they called themselves democratic as well, like the German Democratic Republic (GDR).
First state capitalism broke down now corporate capitalism breaks down.
“A Pew Research Center poll in December found that only 50 percent of Americans reacted positively to the term “capitalism,” while 40 percent reacted negatively. Among Americans ages 18 to 29, more had a negative view of capitalism than a positive view, the survey found. Those young Americans actually viewed socialism more positively than capitalism. In other words, America’s grasping capitalists are turning young Americans into socialists.”
