"State capitalism" is a great demonstration of mental gymnastics by commies. Oh sure, they can go on about how "Communism is stateless so you cannot blame my ideology for these failures," but those same governments that failed got to their point by implementing things commies endorse. After all, they call for the government to seize power in order to achieve their utopia. Because apparently the state will just "wither away", somehow. It never does.
Whenever people are critical of communism, it includes the very implementation that is attempted by those who do so under the banner of communism. So we can safely say we should not try communism when it ultimately leads to the problems that we see repeatedly. Just because commies proclaim that it does not count does not absolve their ideology of blame. The problem is the attempt to reach the end goals of their retarded ideology, not simply the fantasy they have for how they think it should work

Twin Oaks is was an example of how communism can work without people starving
The two tricks they use are
1 Exclusivity and borders - They do not permit everyone to join. This prevents free loaders who do not put in work
2 Exclusivity and borders - They distribute goods within the community in a communist manner but they interact with those outside the community through trade
Twin Oaks used to work but it might collapse from monkey pox after their website went pro LGBTQP+
