By my reasoning, the media redefines communism by calling China communist, therefore reinforcing that capitalism is good and communism is bad. The media also tries to say that the United States is doing better (economically) than communism because we are capitalist, and if we're not doing well economically, it's because we're too communist (ie, we get taxed too much).

By the way, I'm not a communist, though I do think there is merit to the idea "from each according to ability, to each according to work." And I'm disgusted by the idea that those who own capital (for instance, a factory) get rich while those who do the work barely make a living.
