What is your opinion about Communism?

[Anomalocaris]

-and I know, people say "well, that's not capitalism, they're doing it wrong"....to which I respond...wait, are we talking communism again?

The difference is of course communism is an artificially constructed and defined ideology called Marxism first, around which various practices claiming fealty to or inspiration from the ideology, and lumped under the catch all term of communism, then arose to take advantage of the appeal of the ideology to segmrnt of the society.   Therefore it is possible to assess how closely each instance of the practice adhered to the original ideology, and also to evaluate whether the ideology itself on the whole have succeeded in inspiring sound and beneficial practices.

Capitalism was a pragmatically and organically evolved and continuously growing set of practice first, before various academics and opinion makers attempted to fit ideologies around different portions of it.  Therefore it is not do meaningful to say whether a actual instance of the practice fit the ideology of capitalism, nor whether the ideology of capitalism inspired sound and beneficial practices.  The practice were there before there was any ideology and arose independentky of the ideology. The practices generally predated and always arose independently of ex post classificatoon.
