    They got communalism wrong with communism though.

    Saying that they are communists would indicate that they are a state and not a commune. Communism does not have to be build up with communes.

      Communism does not need to built up with a state either. A lot of communist thought points to the end goal of communism being the dissolution of the state entirely. I encourage you to do some more reading on the subject.

      You do need a commune for communism, but a commune doesn’t have to be communist. If you study Karl Marx, he’s very clear about that. He famously wrote about the Paris Commune aswell.

      Communism is a political/ socioeconomic ideology, not a type of state.
