    I think the point is that Chinese and Russian communism are not real communism. They are authoritarian capitalist regimes with a pinch of socialism. (Which even the USA has) that only call themselves communist.

      They were lead by communists believing in communism organized in a communist party. That’s what the ideology leads to.

        Yes but we don’t call electric motors diesel motors anymore either do we?

        I don’t care that people call them commies but it’s not correct in the literal sense.

          It’s not about others calling them communists. They call themselves communists and believe in the ideology.
