You're still not answering my question.

But it's now clear that communism for you is a religion. Upper stage communism is the paradise that is promised to those who follow the tenets of the faith fully, and I am a heretic non-believer

I will not be continuing this discussion any further

What specifically have I not answered?

Communism is not a religion, it's a process of collectivizing property and improving production so as to produce based on the needs of society rather than profit.

You seem to be arguing against a vague abstraction well into the future as though it has already been tried, which is why you said it "happened in the dozen or so times it has been tried."
