Communist candidates are pretty scarce these days. They also seem to have a very foolish interpretation of what "communism" meant to Marx. It meant the gradual extinction of "national structures", even socialist structures, and their replacement with future structures, as a result of capital and technological growth. He made no attempt to actually predict what "communism" might amount to, other than that it would be much less restrictive of human growth due to a surplus of availabilities. He had much more to say about the prequel stage of "socialism".
It certainly didn't mean a broke-ass society pretending that they have an endless supply of goods to share, with populist fervor, ending up in slaughter and starvation once reality becomes exposed. Which is what communism as a political ideology has amounted to, for the most part.
