If you describe communism to these morons without ever saying “communism” then they salivate over what you have just described to them
A system where there is no central authority and everyone has an equal share of both responsibility and power? Somehow I don't think they'd find that particularly enthralling.
That's anarchism, communism can have a central authority, it's just the resources are distributed equitably.
Ehhhhhh Communism is a stateless, moneyless society. Really a form of anarchism however states which aspire to move to this eventually often use central planning as a transitional step.
States don't aspire to Communism, people do. States aspire to use a watered down form of Communism to trick populations into giving them power.
