Not certain, but I’m fairly sure you could pay for more children.

Right, there were permits for it, but with what money, back before it went capitalist? Anyway, it was one of the perks of the ruling class.

China followed Maoism, which was also an authoritarian state. In such theories, they are “communist” in that they ostensibly seek to progress to a communist society. Tbh I doubt the sincerity of such a pursuit.
There are communities that could be genuinely considered communist in its true form, but people typically don’t cite them as examples of communism working since they’re not nation-states … which is the whole point lol
