I could sort of see that, though I think authoritarian does a fine job of saying the same thing. But to say the communist party of the Soviet Union wasn't communist, that they used the word communism to make communism/themselves look bad? Thats hard to even follow the logic.
Yes, I think it's a bit of an unfortunate linguistic development.
(Also I agree the notion of the Soviet Union as an elaborate Fascist false flag operation is pretty hilarious)
