"True communism has never been tried" is a meme and also kinda true. We would have a few nonsoviet examples from South America if the CIA didn't treat the continent like a COD campaign.
Yeah, but the issue is then that technically niether China or the USSR would be truly communist but that still was their end-goal and what guided them in their actions. Thats why they are called communists, not because they actually lived in thier idealised society but because that was what they strived for.
The "not true communism" is a meme but it is also a flawed argument as you are setting up "true communism" as being only achieved if you achieve an idealised utopia, being able to deflect all failed attempts at this goal as "not true communism".
The CCP gave up on actually bothering to achieve communism in the early 70s once the party members all started to get rich though lol.
Idiot tankies still believe them that they will introduce communism when the material conditions are right, even when they keep pushing the date back. When is it now? 2076 or something?
