Stop pretending that Russia is communist. Russia wasn’t even communist when it was the USSR, it sure as shit ain’t communist now
Okay, but then we also have to stop pretending that the USA is a democracy.
It’s just as much of a distortion of the terms

I mean I agree, but we still recognize the terms as we use them. Not their ideological definitions.
It’s a meaningless distinction in everyday useage
