not really, communism calls for an abolishment of the state, or are we playing the "everything that calls its self X is X" game?

by that logic, the DEMOCRATIC people's REPUBLIC of Korea must be a democratic republic, the people's REPUBLIC of china must be a Republic, etc...

or do we describe things based on what they act like?
