It's not really an endorsement of communism, though, to say that zero leaders who have ever sought to create a communist society have ever actually created one.

If I were to tell you that being able to fly is a great idea and everyone who jumped off a building and splatted on the pavement just never achieved it, that's not an endorsement of jumping off buildings.
Similarly, no matter how good a concept it is for humanity to transcend the need for states and classes, if communism the political theory never actually gets us there, at some point that is on the theory, not just on every individual political leader who "messed it up."
There are other political theories that, whatever else you might say about them, did create the society they set out to create. Social democrats have created social democracies. Monarchists have created kingdoms.
If communists can't create communism, that is hardly an excuse.
