Exactly as intended.
I'll bite, even tho Sumo has already made half of my point.
It's not just that it wasn't 'done right' then. That it wasn't don't right is the whole point of why they are able to maintain their position as communists.
They are saying they support the economic ideology as a point of principle. They are not extending that support to say, the Khmer Rouge - probably because it goes without saying that you don't need to turn society into some fucked up middle age farming community to implement a communist economic policy in C21 Europe.
That last part of your last sentence was thrown away in a very cavalier way.
