It sounds amusing

>communist state
Why do people keep doing that

as opposed to

*Socialist* state

when the government is controlled by the people and the government owns the means of production, don't the people control the means of production?

That's not the only trait of communism, that's the trait of socialism in general
And "is controlled by the people" is kind of a keyword here

I mean, we all know that in most of self-proclaimed socialist states people have neither control over the government, nor the means of production

Then why is it the _democratic_ **people's** republic of Korea
