Remember kids, the only reason "real communism has never been tried" is because they always rename communism's inevitable failures to something else. See also "state capitalism", because they're always just one more try from their perfect little commie utopia.
One economics textbook I read uncoupled ownership of property and central planning. According to the authors, both communism and fascism are centrally planned. The difference is that in communism, the property is state-owned and in fascism, it's privately owned.
Siezing the means of production by the governing body is LITERALLY what the founder of communism said communism was.
If it’s the workers seizing the means it’s communist. If it’s the state it’s fascism.
