Communism is considered the next step - a stateless and classless society without money.
Some will say it never existed since it would need to be worldwide, some will say its entirely possible within country borders. Many ways to interpret it and many more ways to disagree with what it means. However, most will agree that workers owning the means of production is part of it, but just workers owning the company they work for on its own generally isn’t enough to say its communism. We have companies which operate that way even today. Its a more broader term for how a whole society functions.

I think everyone agrees that communism has not yet been reached anywhere. I’ve never heard anyone say that it’s possible in one country. What we say is that socialism is possible in one country. Capitalists will always try to destroy socialism, and that’s why communism can’t be reached until capitalism has been almost completely dismantled worldwide.
