What you call "communist nations" call themselves socialist. Maybe you think socialism is social-democracy i.e. Scandinavia or some parts of Europe. It's not, as they are still capitalist.
I don't see where the issue is? I pointed out socialist and communist nations in parentheses.
Yes. But first let me point out that you spoke about communism in general, and not China specifically, when you said that "so many in western countries love the idea of communism when this is precisely what it leads to" -- I assume what it leads to is lgbt-phobia? Regardless, this specific argument is about that exact part I quoted, that communism precisely leads to something.
China does not claim anywhere that they are a communist country. They only talk about socialism, because they are not yet in a communist phase.
