The "end" result did align with the intent. The USSR, for example, never tried to jump straight to Communism. They were Marxists, they opted to go through Socialism.

Communism isn't "doing Socialism for a while then collapsing into magical Communism arbitrarily." It's a long, drawn-out process of building towards Communism. Socialism wasn't a temporary sacrifice, but a drastic improvement on previous conditions.

The states we have today have never identified their conditions as Communist, but as Socialist, with a stated goal of moving towards Communism.

Communes are Anarchist, not Marxist, so pretending only Communes have managed to accomplish what Marxist states set out to do is a drastic misunderstanding of Marxism, Communism, and Anarchism.
