China and Russia haven't been "communist" since... Well, forever

Technically correct because they are and were socialist respectively. "Communism" as a system is the endgame of socialism, characterised by dissolution of the State, and unfortunately has not yet been realised. Kind of like truely pure functional programming on our current stateful computer architectures.

So it's particularly ironic when Israeli "communes" exist under the protection and apartheid enforcement of the checks notes STATE of Israel.
