      My favorite is when people talk about communist Russia (a capitalist oligarchy) or china (a capitalist…authoritarian state?).

        For the life of me, I can’t understand how people think Russia is communist. Like, at least the PRC is nominally communist and describes itself as a communist state (even if it’s not really doing communism).

        But Russia? The USSR was dissolved decades ago. The Russian Federation never claimed to be communist. Are these people just stuck in the Cold War?

          You’re overthinking it. It’s just a synonym for “Russian”, or maybe “enemy”.
