Except for the "National Bolsheviks", if they call themselves Commies, they almost always are. They not be "your" sort of Commies, but what else could you call them? "State capitalists" is excessively ambiguous.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
