You may be a comunist. But you are certainly not a communist. The definition you are using is non standard and totally wrong.

Communism: Stateless, classless society where the means of production are owned by the people.

How the hell am I supposed to tell from a badly phrased sentence? Try doing some reading that is how you tell if you agree with any ideology. I would suggest marxists.org to begin with work your way up from Marx to Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Mao, Fidel, Ho Chi Minh, Che, etc. if you are interested in the Marxist line. There are a lot of different communist theories though.

Socialism is an economic system in which the means of production are publicly or commonly owned and controlled co-operatively, or a political philosophy advocating such a system.

Then some may fit.

State capitalism has various different meanings, but is usually described as a society wherein the productive forces are controlled and directed by the state in a capitalist manner, even if such a society calls itself socialist.

Now this, friends, is a contradiction were I to ever see one.

My friend, Communism cannot begin to be defined in your dictionary. There are a plethora of various theories and ideas. So I feel you may have to be more specific...

If you have state owned industry, you'd be a socialist, but not necessarily a communist.

Your dictionary is wrong...also...can you please re-write your post with a spell check...and what your views are so people can actually see if your views are communist.
Also: Use Google's Chrome internet browser. It has an in-built spell checker. You might find it useful.

Ah, but then again, what of council communism and Leninism and such. The lack of a state is going into the realms of Anarchism and Libertaian Socialism. Communism, by definition, has communes, ruled by the people. The communes, in turn, make up a state. It very much depends on one's ideology.

No. Communism is a stateless classless society even according to Marxists, Leninists, and council communists.

Yes it does you are saying if you have a Socialist State thus beginning the transition you can't be a communist. Either you are being purposefully thick or you are unfamiliar with English.
