I get that, but...
A lot of people are calling it communist when it really isn't. It be best to call the kettle it's actual color so it doesn't do more damage. If you saw a neo-nazi you really shouldn't let them rebrand themselves as white chauvinist. (proud-boys tried this) it gives an air of deniability and confuses the conversation. In this example you would still call them a nazi, or racist and so on. Call it on it's actual real name, not what they want the name to be.
Wait a minute. Neo-Nazi's, as you call them, bear little resemblance or commonality with the Nazi Party that controlled Germany from 1933-45. The punks who get that label these days are trash racist morons with little to no ideological understanding of Hitler et al's Nationalist Socialism. But you're still gonna call them Nazis, because you don't want to let them get out of being called Nazis?
But Communist China, because there are some distinctions you can make in recent developments/deviations from an economic structure that could be called truly communist ... you want people to correct themselves and stop using the word 'communist' to refer to them, even if they still use it themselves?
Actually what I found most interesting was that your description of why China isn't really communist ... "There is a owner class (the CEO) and the working class (people below) it's just that with china if the government wants something from a business they can outright force them to do it." ... now that sounds like Nazis!!! And they've even got ethnic-based slave labor camps!
Anyway, guess what I'm trying to say is both the Republican and Democrat hoi polloi are a little too prone to throw the words "Nazi" and "Communist" around these days, without much appreciation for the gravity of the label. Hanging these names on Proud Boys or Antifa street rabble is ridiculous.
