“This theory when applied didn’t look like the book, therefore it’s not really that theory”

Communism without actually sharing isn’t communism. Democracy without fair elections isn’t democracy. Socialism without the socialisation of the benefit of production is not socialism. Your ignorance of these things doesn’t change what they are.

Again, the “the practice doesn’t look like the theory so it’s not real communism”

North Korea calls itself democratic. Everyone in the country votes for a new leader every five years. It’s just that there’s only one name on the ballot.
One would be foolhardy to argue that this means that democracy is a stupid idea.

No. The theory when applied doesn’t follow the book.
