Yep. I think it is a mistake to mislabel this as communism. That cedes the ground won against the system. It fails. It always fails. Even if it were not done by evil men it would fail. 

So when you call the US or China communist you make it seem like it doesn't fail. Same goes for calling Sweden socialist. Its not. They have social welfare but they are market economics.
