I assure you, this guy knows his shit about Communism, and he refutes pretty much everything you've ever said about the Soviet Union.

OK, I'll link you to actual Soviet Doctrine:

Why would Khrushchev talk about attaining communism in 20 years if they were already communist?

Two things:

First: Have you heard about the concept of "propaganda". I mean if we have to start taking "doctrine" at face value from totalitarian dictatorships, your perspective about these people vs how they actually were in reality are going to be miles apart very quickly.

And two: Just because they didn't realize their supposed "end goal" doesn't mean they weren't Communist, and this wasn't a communist society. That's like saying that Hilter didn't commit genocide because he didn't kill all of the Jews.
