Privatizing the US national helium reserve. Gonna laugh when in a few years the government of another nation ends up owning it. Helium is dwindling finite resource that key technological infrastructure relies upon.

Despotism refers to a person in power making unilateral decisions, it is no means of describing any system of government.

Define communism, I'll let you once again look it up.

Yeah, that too, so?

it is no means of describing any system of government.

Why is that?

Define communism, I’ll let you once again look it up.

Why would I? That wouldn't change that I'm right. You seem to think that I have to prove something or dispute something with you to be right. I don't.

Also a hint - anybody can come up with any kind of definition. If I look it up, then what? Somebody you consider authoritative has approved a definition? Well, it's one model you like, I may not, so why would I bother?
