I see nominally chill leftists use both.

    That's how I see it, though then you get curveballs like French Communist Party [Parti communiste français} and Italian Communist Party {Partito Comunista Italiano}, Colombian Communist Party, and weirdly the CPSA after dissolving itself in the 50s and reforming swapped itself to its current South African Communist Party

      Oh yeah, I wouldn't say it broadly applies lol, I just use it in case I forget the CPC. It also doesn't help for ones where the common acronym is from the native language and not english, like the KPD for example

        Nah it broadly applies, it is just some of the biggest communist parties confusingly dont follow the majority pattern.
