I said your own words, not "as defined by" others.

I've yet to meet anyone who throws around "communism" like that who uses it as anything but a vacuous memetic catchphrase, detached from any real understanding.

I'm not the father of communism, Marx is, and he defined it pretty clearly in the Communist manifesto, which is still well worth reading.

It's his definition that is interesting for intellectual discussion.
