    Some incredible fucking insight, especially as it goes against probably all historical literature we have on the subject.

    And what’s is your source for all of this?

          With about as much value as 10 seconds of research would imply. I clicked on one link there to find:

          As a term, communist state is used by Western historians, political scientists, and media to refer to these countries. However, these states do not describe themselves as communist nor do they claim to have achieved communism

            As a one-party state governed by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, it was a flagship communist state.

            In the summary of the article. 5 seconds this time. Still as waste of time if you can believe it.

                  Clearly not, I’ll repeat the excerpt from your source

                  As a term, communist state is used by Western historians, political scientists, and media to refer to these countries. However, these states do not describe themselves as communist nor do they claim to have achieved communism

                  Wikipedia called the USSR a “flagship communist state”, Wikipedia also explicitly said that even though some in the west use the term “communist state”, that those states are not in fact communist. So obviously you cannot hold two related facts in your head simultaneously.
