With about as much value as 10 seconds of research would imply. I clicked on one link there to find:

As a term, communist state is used by Western historians, political scientists, and media to refer to these countries. However, these states do not describe themselves as communist nor do they claim to have achieved communism

As a one-party state governed by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, it was a flagship communist state.

In the summary of the article. 5 seconds this time. Still as waste of time if you can believe it.
