I don't think so. The definition of communism is not a organization with a hierarchical structure. You even fail to touch the central traits of communism. You're simply trying to forcefully conflate two separate concepts while ignoring it's primary traits.

In short, gibberish.

Communism as applied in practice, specifically the former soviet union, very much had a hierarchy.

The primary traits of interest I listed in the previous comment. Are they exactly the same? of course not. But that doesn't mean they can't share similarities.

I'm not convinced you realize that the definition of communism is not "a hierarchical organization".

I don't see the point of continuing this discussion. Even your basic assumptions are fundamentally wrong.

Did read the 'as applied in practice' part and then think I was talking about the idealized dictionary definition? Because that's weird if you did.
