The only notable attempts at communism, and the ones who vehemently claim to be communists, were the USSR and the CCP, both of which were/are the most violent and oppressive regimes in modern history.

Like it or not, if more people use the term to describe something different than you then that's what the term actually means.

See this comment is funny because there are two ways to interpret this comment: There are other notable examples OR that those previous examples weren't bloodthirsty monsters, but even if I asked subscribers of either belief which they were they would both claim the former.
