Who the hell is saying Russia is communist? Certainly not Marxist-Leninists

Actually, over 40% of Americans, both Bidenites and Trumpites. At least that was the case in 2022.

Yeah, and even in the least wrong segment of the population of the whole poll (the young people), 28-31% think Russia is a communist state!
