    I don’t think communism is evil, I am a Communist. China is not Russia is not Communist. They couldn’t possibly be Communist, since communism is by definition moneyless and stateless, and both China and Russia are states that have money. China and Russia are both capitalist countries with varying degrees of state involvement and oligarchy. Suggesting that either country is Communist is a bad script.

        Communism is defined as a stateless, classless, moneyless society; broadly speaking, a society in which private property is abolished. Neither China nor Russia has abolished private property, and in fact both countries are home to many billionaires.

        What definition were you using, and how is it in any way applicable to modern China or Russia?
