Russia is a dictatorship with a kleptocracy.
China is a politburo run dictatorship with state run capitalist economy
North Korea is a pure dictatorship with almost no discernible economy.

The only communist thing about them is that they USED to be communist economies, run by "the party" as almost dictatorships (party run dictators). But that was decades ago now.
