Basically an exaggerated form of liberalism

I'm sure there are history books that go over the subject. Back when communism was an ideology, there actually were a few instances of communist activity and organization, primarily from the late 19th century until the first red scare of around 1917.
As for modern communism, that's gonna be anything from the street tactics of Saul Alinsky to the rise of corpo-communism. Commodify Your Dissent generalizes the evolution of western communism well enough for a quick, easy read. Since then, the stripped-down, optimized communism of the US has been similar to green parties in, say, europe, so any book going over rage and language games among pseudo-political boomers should give you a good idea of how far communism has come these days.
Guess China really was the only one to figure it out. It's the Asian mindset that makes communism work, I assume.

ya he called out communists for not being communist enough and then praises capitalism with a communist logo, but since communism is bunk it makes sense that it would come to this

Taking capitalist/monarchist/fascist/etc. policies and slapping the word "people's" or "worker's" onto everywhere is the platonic form of communism.
