These people do not know what communism is. It's true of the entire Anglosphere. Hell, I do act like a stereotypical Soviet sympathiser and my mum still has no idea I'm a communist, since I don't call myself one in front of her. (She'd never claim to be a socialist. And insists she's not a communist. But when we discuss actual questions of economic and social policy... well, I think she'd have liked Cold War era USSR more than Cold War era USA. And we tend to agree on most things, even when I don't hold back the way I usually do in mixed company. And if communist revolution were to break out in our country, she'd stay put, she isn't viscerally ideologically opposed enough to uproot her life even further under such circumstances.)
