Edit: Dictatorship of the Proletariat + Predominant, collective ownership and control of the economy = AES?

For me personally the DOTP is the main factor. The rest follows regardless, so something is AES at the very moment it enters the transitionary stage between capitalism and communism, and that is the very moment that the proletariat seize power.

Literally every single other thing about a country can have various and significant differences to other AES countries, the important factor is simply what class is in power.
