The names do not matter, the real communist societies are the societies where a communist party has the political power, not the societies described by communists under the name "communist society".
Almost everything in the Communist propaganda corresponds to a Christian concept, which has been renamed and twisted. There are exact Communist correspondents for prophets, saints, martyrs, priests, the Holy Bible, heretics, the Vatican and so on.
The "Communist state" is the Communist correspondent of the Christian Heaven. While the Christians have always been taught that they must be obedient and that they must work diligently, because despite the fact that in this life their good deeds are not rewarded as they should, they will be rewarded in their afterlife, in Heaven, the citizens of the states where the Communists have the power have always been taught that they must be obedient and that they must work diligently, because despite the fact that in this life their good deeds are not rewarded as they should, their children will receive the reward, when living in a "Communist state".
Having been born and raised in a country occupied by Communists, I certainly know the facts about them better than any outsider.
Therefore the "Communist state" has always been nothing more than a propaganda instrument and none of those using this instrument have really believed that it is something that could ever exist in reality.
