Communism, the movement, has been tried and is continued to be tried. Communism, the end status of a global worker Republic devoid of class antagonisms, has never been reached. These are completely acceptable and compatible statements.

This brings us to the third: read theory so you don't think this is some "gotcha" anymore.

And what empirically happened every time communism has been tried?

Large increases in home ownership, literacy rates, life expectancy, democratization, and quality of life as opposed to previous conditions.

And tens of millions of people being forced into the grave by starvation or outright murdered en masse

Starvation was ended by Socialism.

Large home ownership with poor quality.

Literacy rates achieved just as in democratic country.

Yes, Democratic People's Republic of Korea is democratic. "It's in the name."

Quality of life: you have to wait seven years to receive a car and long bread lines.

Life expectancy: shorter if the centralised authorirty did not artificially create famine and don't send you to gulag or re-education camp

AES states are democratic. Study the structures themselves.

The quality of life was far higher than previously, and continues to improve.

AES states solved famines.
