(That was/is) not real communism is a common response to people pointing at certain countries as examples of failure of communism. Usually, it goes something like this:

1. Alice: We need communism to fix our country.
2. Bob: Like it did with Venezuela?
3. Alice: That was not real communism!
4. Bob: Like it did with North Korea?
5. Alice: That was not real communism!

and so on.
