No dictatorship has been communist. They use the mantle, that it's for nation and country, but they don't even pay lip service to communism ideals and mechanism. They are just crony capitalist, where the head of the state is the one that uses the state to control the economy rather than the rich doing it by proxy.
> the head of the state is the one that uses the state to control the economy
That's the exact opposite of capitalism.
If you continue reading, you would understand the entire context... also, political and economic system don't have to be married to each other.
I understand perfectly your attempt at muddling definitions to blame all the ills of authoritarian leftism on capitalism.
