Currently there are three countries which could be called 'communist':

China, Cuba and North Korea.

China is run by a party which calls itself communist. But in recent decades it has re-introduced capitalism and abolished socialism, so it is communist in name only.

North Korea is run by a dictator who inherited his position, and by a ruling elite. It is more a one-man Dictatorship claiming to be 'communist' than it is a real communist country.

That leaves only Cuba.

Technically speaking, no countries are or ever have been communist. According to Marxist / communist theory, when a country eventually becomes communist, the government will no longer be necessary and will whither away.

They call themselves socialist countries, they are run by communist governments, and they are aiming to become communist.
