I can't see how. Having visited several communist counties, and being married to someone that grew up in one, the previous comment doesn't resemble any of them in the slightest.
To each according to his need, from each according to his ability. That's communism and that's what the parent was talking about.
Now, the countries you visited are probably quite a bit off from the above even though they call themselves communist, but the above most certain is communism. Speaking of visiting, I lived in one for a very long time, does that make me more qualified than you to speak on the subject?
If you're going to stand for something, at the very least identify it properly.
