    was there any legitimate communism?

    USSR was State capitalism, China went from State feudalism to state capitalism.

      There was in the Free Territory of Ukraine under Makhno. Of course they were brutally crushed after 3 years because their succes and freedom was a threat to the Bolsheviks, and their legitimacy, who had already abandoned their ideals for power, as is inevitable when you concentrate power that much.
