The state owns most if not all industry. The only thing that individuals can invest in is property. How is that capitalism?

Can you differentiate state capitalism from Communism? Sounds like a No True Scotsman argument.

It's pretty simple - communism is "real communism" when it works, and it's not when it doesn't. It's similar to how it's not "real capitalism" when things go wrong in a capitalist system.
