"Islamic communism" only exists in WESTERN academic circles. If Muslims ON THE GROUND IN THE MIDDLE EAST were interpreting their canonical texts in the light of communism, then that's what they would be fighting for rather than liberal democracy or feudalism.

Why does Holla Forums keep bringing up the PFLP every time an "Islamic gommunizum" thread is posted?
PFLP was founded by a Christian-turned-atheist and their entire platform is secular. Not to mention, Palestine is just one tiny Muslim-majority country and the PFLP is hardly as active as it once was 40 years ago.

They aren't Islamic in ideology, they just have members from a Muslim background
It's the same with the YPG, PKK, and MKLP

If "Islamic communism" is the goal, then the plan should be to morph Marxism or anarchism to meet the principles and demands of traditional Sunni Islam, not the other way around.
A major problem with religious communism is that the vast majority of the theorists and activists who combined Marxism with theology were outright heretics. Liberation Theology, for instance, has always been looked at negatively by the Vatican. Both Martin Buber (anarchist) and Walter Benjamin (Marxist) followed the Lurianic kabbalah, which was considered an outright perversion of Judaism time and time again. Mirsaid Sultan-Galiyev was much more of a Turanist than an Islamic theologian. Ali Shariati was a Shia, as are Hezbollah (even though Hezbollah aren't really leftist), and Shias are considered heretics by Sunnis who constitute 85% of the world's Muslim population. Don't even get me started on "Sufi anarchism" when Sufis are routinely killed by orthodox Muslims.
It could actually be taken as a bit of an insult to religious people since you're implying they have to morph their theological views into something they'd see as absurd in order to shoehorn them into a communist agenda. Why not to the opposite and shoehorn Marxism into orthodox Islam?

Religion is just an arm of culture, saying that a muslim supports slavery because the Quaran says so is pedantic. If a religious population believes something, whatever the religion itself has historically said about it is irrelevant - religion effects culture, and vice versa, but ultimately religion is subservient to culture. If a people think that slavery is wrong, what their book says is irrelevant - and if any of them are scholars, they'll probably try to find a way to interpret their book as anti-slavery too.
The Quaran itself, arguably, even accounts for this, in saying that God is all-knowing, but the book is not - "We do not abrogate a verse or cause it to be forgotten except that We bring forth one better than it or similar to it. Do you not know that Allah is over all things competent?"
