The thing with communism being used is that it's mostly a propaganda thing, they just call it "communism"
Also, with the Soviet Union as an example, it was just state capitalism, but it was also pretty much what has become neoliberalism, before it was actually invented. I think a lot of the time, communism is like a threat segments of society use against it's insubordinate members, because it's their way of saying that they're going to go all the way with it, that they won't spare anyone then. Which is what it was with the Soviet Union. Stalin basically spend all his time killing people, anyone that was insubordinate to his rule.

Well, the USSR wasn't neoliberalism that much, because it wasn't unregulated capitalism at all, they didn't outsource that often. But there's some similarity there between neo-liberalism. But it might just be what modern day capitalism is.

which turned out to be an anti-eugenics program, basically
the great russian engineers, authors, etc. all too dangerous/uppity so they got culled
anyone too free got culled
the only people spared were generally faggot retard drunk vegetables who sat indoors
ther'es been a lot of similar "accidental" anti-eugenics since then & i don't think we've yet felt the full effects
but god, the cost of it is something you'd kill yourself over the grief for what was lost, if only you could see what could've been

We've had socialism in different places and Marxism-Leninism. These weren't communism. Communism will supercede capitalism in the entire world

Name them.
Absolute majority of those who had been killed during the 1937 purges were The old Bolsheviks, the old cadres, not muh engineers and writers, and in their place Stalin had installed Russians from the working class. That is the reason why Russians today have good opinion of Stalin. Well, at least less nationalist and more Putinist ones.
Writers actually enjoyed protection and patronage of Stalin himself.

No it wasn't. China is state capitalism, because it has an authoritarian one party government while allowing billionaires and private, for-profit corporations. The USSR on the other hand was state socialism. All industry was publicly owned, there were no billionaires or private corporations. China was state socialist under Mao, but Deng Xiaoping turned it into state capitalism by allowing private investment.
