Maybe the purpose of a system is what it does…
Maybe trying to lower the rate/efficiency of the baby-killing machine is the wrong approach…
Maybe you should be thinking about destroying it…

      I think it’s just such a common term and people generally understand what it means. Surprised that some have a big issue with it tbh

          I think it has more to do with communist parties in rule than actually saying they’ve achieved communism. A leftist community understands the difference so doesn’t seem like a big deal to me

            It is semantics, I agree. But tainted semantics and objectively wrong.

            You could instead say “communist-led country”, “socialist country”.

            The mainstream usage doesn’t understand the nuance you mentioned btw
