Agile is an adjective; The values of the manifesto for agile software development are lost, this is the original idea of The Manifesto: https://youtu.be/a-BOSpxYJ9M?t=406

Do you think we could draw a parallel between agile software development and the communist movement ?

The consultants have taken over "Agile" and turned it into a process-heavy set of practices. Over the course of a 2 week sprint I spend more than 8 scheduled hours in various meetings (grooming, planning, scrums,etc.) http://programming-motherfucker.com/

Safety in process.

Ironic that one of the principals of agile is "people over processes"

Agile methods are solidly in the mainstream, but that popularity hasn't been without its problems. Organizational leaders are complaining that they’re not getting the benefits they expected. This article presents a fluency model that will help you get the most out of agile ideas.

Perhaps, rather than a fluency model and the associated billable consulting hours, there are simpler and less expensive explanations of the failure of Agile Inc.'s advice to software developers.
