Unlike the communistic system where the political leaders use the system to enrich themselves?

An actually communist system would not have leaders that could enrich themselves, because communism entails the absence of private property. (including money, owning means of production that aren't directly from solely your own efforts, etc)

I wouldn't call myself a communist, but even I know this.

    They said "communistic" when they likely meant "socialist". People who haven't read leftist theory run socialism and communism together. We should educate them on the difference between socialism (i.e., a transitionary stage) and communism (i.e., a classless/moneyless/stateless society).
