“Mao wasn’t a communist in 1953 because his country hadn’t completed its first five year plan yet” is one hell of a claim.

One hell of a straw man, you mean.
At what point have I denied that people are communists?
Mao may be a communist and follow a philosophy called communism but China has not established a social order called communism as envisioned by communists.

socialist countries are in fact socialist, not communist

Countries -> Large collections of People

Not communist -> denying that these large collections of people are communist

Mao may be a communist and follow a philosophy called communism but China has not established a social order called communism as envisioned by communists.

Uh huh.
