Why would communist support capitalists like Putin and Xi-Jinping which aren't better than Liberal-capitalists ?

I am all in for stopping liberal capitalism, but I am more interested in implementing a happinex index like Buthan than living in oligarch-capitalist-regime like Russia/China

Basically because there's enough people on the planet that some are going fall into any camp that gets created. People seek their own identities, which sometimes involves moving away from things other people are believing in.

Possibly an adaptation to keep the species from getting too complacent, which we're a little inclined towards otherwise, probably due to our social nature. It's a vulnerable state though, can't have the whole species going extinct every time an ice age comes.
