      You can’t be “more communist-er” than something - you either are or you aren’t.

        Yes you can. You could organize certain aspects/fields of the economy differently, injecting communist ideas into otherwise capitalist countries. So a country where everything is subject to a “free”, capitalist market could be calles less communist than a country, where for example the development and maintenance of public infrastructure is organized and funded by a government, be it democratic or authoritarian.

        The stance that there is only pure capitalism or pure communism is propaganda used by both sides in order to prevent reforms.
