I'll explain this so that people can understand abit better mechanisms of capitalism and communism. Anything that is done for profit is capitalism, it's private employers profitting off of the workers. In the case of argentina Milei changed laws so that Employers not the state can exchange work for food. In this example, the work is in benefit of private owners. That's actually closer to fascism.
Communism is work in exchange of goods and service but the outcome is the benefit of the workers, for example extra profits may be shared amongst the workers equally.
Service in exchange for food, money etc. Where the outcome benefits the state only is authoritarianism. The workers are allowed to live in exchange for the idea of the nation led by a small group in government.
It's possible to have a capitalist country but is authoritarian (fascism). And it's possible to have a communist country but is authoritarian (utopian).

Just Luke in China. ^^
Anyway, when I work I want money. I want to decide for myself what it is used for. I don't need the state or private individuals for that.
I saw the DDR in east Germany.
"Government spending-to-GDP ratio". Planned economy. Vouchers. Nightmare
I probably quickly abandoned communism because the state is involved in decisions. Sensational headlines and clickbait information. ๐
Maybe people in Argentina think it's great.
No idea. Have fun
There are rich people in China, millionaires and Billionaires. I'm guessing the images of the 1960s propaganda campaign against the commies is flashing in your head as what to expect from a communist state. images of bread lines and dark dank factories endlessly producing weapons and furniture.
Like I was saying before a planned economy is authoritarianism, it's neither capitalism or communism. US and European propaganda paints a picture of communism that isn't accurate at all and describes their own plans right now more accurately than their enemies.
Okay.
I can live with that and agree. I read Marx's manifesto once. That was enough for me.
