Define communism.

no one can, not even those who advocate for it. (aside from “not that thing that was repeatedly tried and failed”)

Communism is the doctrine of the conditions of the liberation of the proletariat.

You’re welcome.

And what would be those conditions?

common ownership and control of the means of production in a classless moneyless stateless society governed via collective mutual determination or similar horizontal system of power.

oh, i see, makes sense then why it was never tried. how are we going to have a society without a state to govern it? (i mean not to concern troll here, if a solution can be created for this that would be genuinely interesting, but for example that council the soviets created a century ago was clearly a state)
