I understand what you're saying. There are different ways to implement any social or economic system. Capitalism doesn't always look the same, neither does communism.
But there has to be a core definition, and as long as that core definition is met, then the method of implementation doesn't much matter. But none of the examples you posted are examples of real communism.
For example, you talk about the Portuguese government owning many major businesses. Well, one of the core tenets of communism is the abolishment of private property in favor of communal property. Private property and business exists in Portugal, so it's not an actual communist country.
