Yes. "A communist state" is an oxymoron. Communism is by definition stateless. Government/governance, sure, but without a state. Rojava would probably be a better example of communism (in practice) than Soviet.

"state" is area where government is able to collect taxes and respected by other governments. Thus "communist state" is not oxymoron.

I don't understand your point.

> A communist society would entail the absence of private property and social classes, and ultimately money and the state (or nation state).[1]
