It's tiring to tell libs that its actually CPC instead of CCP.

  • CCP = Chinese China Party (???)
  • CPC = Chinese Party of China (correct)

I'm literally going to drop kick someone who gets it wrong!!!

Thoughts? Is it worthwhile to correct people on this?

    Nah, correcting them is a good talking point and it doesn't erode their identifiability because they won't accept the correction. CNN, Washington Post, NYT, NPR, etc all say CCP so as far as they're concerned God himself bestowed the name CCP on them and nothing could possibly change their minds. But it can still catch unsuspecting default-libs who look into it and go "hang on, why does every single Western source literally just use an incorrect name for a foreign political party?"

      I'd say if they were never going to use the correct acronym in the first place, then I just wouldn't say anything to them unless they get confused and ask why I use CPC.

      Frankly I think CCP for some of them is a way for them to make believe they are fighting the Soviets again.
