They were sounding good until they compared it to the "not real communism" thing. What people call "communist" countries were, by definition, not communist. They themselves never claimed to have achieved communism.

The reason it wasn't communism, or even socialism at all, was the fact that *the workers did not own the means of production*. Whether or not you like the idea of communism or not, it's dishonest to call the totalitarian states of the 20th century "communist". They were authoritarian state-capitalists.

This leads me to believe that the author of this article maybe actually didn't understand agile as much as they thought they did.
