How many years and 100s of millions dead does it have to take for idiots to learn communism is a failed ideology? Even china had to open their markets or face the inevitable.

It's actually a political theory in the context that both you and the previous comment use it. Ideology would be party-specific or individual-specific interpretations of Marx and Engels original work, or classical Marxism. China is a Socialist Republic which is run by "Communist Party," which claims to be Marxist-Leninist-Maoist (an ideology), but is actually a capitalist hell hole that produces an elite class and billionaires even faster than the US does. The communist title is used all around the world often as a rouse gain and keep popular support from the proletariat class.

Oh really? Go for it, there expert. They stopped being Maoist decades ago. You have google. Use it. Just because a country claims to still be communist doesn't make it so. Go to bed child.
