"The essence of communism was always about state control and one party dictatorship."

They are arguably an inevitable consequence of its core ideology, but there are many other types of one party dictatorships and it's essentially an idea for the economic organisation of society. Without the economic aspect, a country may be run by something called the Communist Party but its not something most ideological communists would recognise as communism.
