Like kilternkafuffle basically said, you're being completely pedantic and don't understand that a majority in any country is never completely ideologically motivated. Do you think a majority of Americans are really liberals (in the proper sense) who support capitalism in any concrete way? No, and the evidence is in a number of things, including that over 100 million Americans don't (or sometimes can't) even vote in elections. Bernie Sanders got very high support even though he calls himself a Democratic socialist and they (mildly) red-baited against him. People care about their material reality, not whether some form of worker ownership is going to improve their lives. People want the end result, they don't care about the means to achieve it. The goal of socialists/communists is to associate a better life with socialism, which is exactly what the Soviet Union did for most of the people who lived in it and many people around the world, from China to Chile.
