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.

    No, it’s not a democracy because it doesn’t even bother following actual democratic principles. It’s just like Napoleon’s idea of democracy: I am the people, therefore if I have absolute power I’m being democratic.
    
    Basically Cuba on steroids

    The only think like Napoleon’s around here is your ego. Shame you don’t have the brains to go with it.

    The theory when applied ends up not following the book… I wonder why?

    Because you can’t read, as proven.
