Lots of baby socialists make this mistake regarding the term "communism". It's a good teaching opportunity to always be cognizant of words having multiple senses, since they are almost always trying to square their idea of communism as a classless, stateless society and communist countries that have both the state and class.
"Well that's obviously wrong too, as the intro to the wiki article on socialism says that socialism is when the workers own the means of production, and that was not the case in the USSR tAnKie!" is the usual dogshit radlib response to that.

"Communist-aspiring countries" doesn't have the same ring to it

USSR called itself and its allies "socialist countries".

I don't think you can reason with such people.
It's a waste of time really
the average US citizen thinks "leftist" means "democrat" and "communist" means "extreme democrat"
It honestly just pisses me the fuck off. Such diseased brains are among us
such brains are what now... they're.. they're among???? the'yre AMONBGUS? :sus-torment:
Oh fuck
Agreed. Unfortunately anything like that would be lost on most redditers
