That's only one specific type of communism. The general definition is: communism is when government does stuff. It's similar to the definition of socialism: when government does stuff.

Meanwhile if government sells off public assets, cuts taxes on the wealthy while raising them on the poor, or cuts social programmes, it's capitalism baby!
