They are not evolved communism. That's a very strange idea. In fact, the only real reason that they were communist in the first place is because they didn't believe in creating class differences. They have abandoned that now, so they are in no way whatsoever communist. Capitalism is not evolved communism. The problem is that they were never communist in the first place but they at least were against class differences.
