Communism has the very good idea of socialism, so it's not too bad, as to what I was taught about it. But the way I see it, communism isn't going to get far enough to get to that. And U'm saying that as a technically-a-communist.
Russia and China are about as Communist as North Korea is a Democratic People's Republic.
Communism is about the production being owned by the people. In practice no "communist" country on Earth ever did that. They just removed private capitalist owners from the companies and inserted a government (that didn't actually represent it's people).
Russia is not officially communist anymore now, and as I see it China is... quite the Showa Japan, you know, with all the ultranationalism, speedy developments and such. I feel greatly raped.
Funny how they make out England to be a tyrannical kingdom because they have a royal family with a long history of tyranny... totally unlike how Japan has an IMPERIAL family with all sorts of tyranny in their past!

Technically, there were, they just weren't called countries.
Before the existence of organized government, when humanity lived in tribes which had no authority figures past a village elder whose words people would consider more heavily than other's, there was communism and equality among all villagers, who shared their food as they got it without any concept of money because they all had to work toward the common goal of survival. (This is what the Marxists called "Primitive Communism" since it was both their goal, but also something they wanted to dismiss as beneath them.) Then, there was the Agricultural Revolution, warlords and kings and ranks of nobility and social classes where the very poor could starve to death even as the nobility feasted. The Marxist Communist ideal was to somehow recreate that prehistoric equality and lack of money without getting rid of all the actual separation of labor, luxury goods, and other benefits that came from an organized society, but they never even came close to finding a way to make that work.
What the Soviets actually did was essentially just your typical centralized oligarchy/dictatorship, that ironically rather well mimicked the concept of the nobility they were supposedly saving the workers from. (After all, how much difference was there, really, between the various Communist juntas and the Fascist ones once they were in power, in spite of hypothetically being of diametrically opposed ideologies? They were just the playgrounds of single dictators one way or the other, only the rhetoric justifying it was different.)

And the parting on the left was now parting on the right, and the beards had all grown longer overnight.
I tip my hat to the new constitution, take a bow for the new revolution. I smile and grin at the change all around. Get on my guitar and play, just like yesterday, then I get on my knees and pray, we don't get fooled again.

From outside, I can't remember the Japanese imperial family from before they're shoved into the closet by the court bureaucrats, and then by the samurai, then by the military and politicians. Probably because the court and samurai got more drama than the imperial family themselves.
At least not the part where it's doubted the emperor even exist in reality and not just some fictional person.

Japan had a chronic problem with it's official state leadership getting kinda-sorta overthrown by it's own governing accessories/offices. Particularly the military.

Well, I remember from reading up for Touhou about the Fujiwara clan about the Heian Period (and earlier), which is basically around the high middle ages that England would also be remembered for having some of its tyrannical kings.

Well I do agree with it, but only in a small-scale. Also people often end up abusing powers that end up in making another dictatorship .
That naval base better be on the capitalists side. lol
Me:"No, not yet I still have one more card to play." *Walks into the interrogation room* "Get to the Bunker Jersey and Tirpitz. Tell ASF_Montana I failed." Jersey: "Tsk! Whatever, It's your choice!" *looks at Nagato* Me: DAMNIT! WHY can't you remember! *unties Nagato* I know you Nagato your no traitor!
You lot, seems that it's mealtime.Here it is!
America's speciality!Through the pride of the Allies, their manufacturing power,5000 of them for now.Communism is scary...We've produced a massive number of ZUIUNs!Ah, they've come to their senses.Praise be to the ZUIUN!FWRAAAAHHHHH!The colonies, too, shall be converted by force!Your Majesty, the colonies are already...The United Kingdom has modernized, converted to ZUIUNism.
"Modernized and converted" (近代化改宗) is a homonym of the KanColle term 近代化改修 (kindaika kaishuu), the modernization mechanic.This is tyranny the likes of Henry the 8th, right?
