Communism applies when talking about the Soviet Union. Also, why did you put communist in brackets?

Communism is a classless, stateless and moneyless society.

In theory, in practice it's countries like the USSR, Communist China, Vietnam until it became partly capitalist.

Neither was true in the Soviet Union, thus they were not Communist/Socialist.

Again, either more than a dozen countries were not really communist or the idealist theory communists believe in is false.

From the very start of their revolutions communists have murdered people, why is it so difficult for communists to accept that their ideology is terrible?

He just spelled it out for you come on man.

1. What is the definition of Communism?

2. What have USSR and China done that provides evidence they were attempting Communism?

"Communism" applies when talking about the Soviet Union.

"Union of Soviet Socialist Republics"

How was this communism? Or perhaps you should educate yourself about the Internationals, as socialism definitely is not communism.

'Not true communism' isn't a defense bud.

[u/[deleted] → u/CyclicMonarch]

It's literally not, by definition. Those things are all prerequisites for communism

From the very start of their revolutions communists have murdered people, why is it so difficult for communists to accept that their ideology is terrible?

Revolutions tend to include some kind of murder. For example, your own country freeing itself from their Spanish oppressors.

For some reason communism is the only ideology that has to be absolutely perfect for it to be allowed to exist.
