Emphasis on "could've", as in the hypothetical.
It's pretty clear from your comments that you consider communists and tankies to be one and the same, and don't really know much about communism in general. These tired arguments have been done to death, there's no point litigating this stuff with someone who comes at this with with proud ignorance of the subject matter. Until you grasp at least the contradiction inherent in the phrase "communist nation", you're just wasting people's time.
