That’s not because it’s not a communist society, that’s because our government is run by shills paid by corporations to keep it that way.

Who runs a communist society? The people? Do we all take turns being president? What happens if it’s a bad dude’s turn and they don’t want to relinquish power?

The problem isn’t necessarily the economic system, the problem is the leadership appointed, combined with the people’s willful ignorance of their actions. Late-stage capitalism is definitely a problem, but in its current implementation more of a symptom of the points above.

tl;dr every system suffers from the same vulnerability: shitty people

No one said communism and limits on the government/a constitution are mutually exclusive (If your communist society even has a government, which technically they aren't supposed to, not that I've seen any details on how that is supposed to work).
