"Not real communism" has 2 flavors.
Western "leftist" edition, claiming all existing socialist states never achieved even socialism
Marxist edition, pointing out that socialism is a transition to communism, and that communism has not been achieved yet.
The latter is correct, but often gets mistaken for the former, which results in rhetorical gotchas by liberal debatelords.
