Exactly! One should not confound their economic model (communism, capitalist, socialist) with their governing model (authoritarian, democratic).

Their decisions to massacre people are purely authoritarian, while their economic policies look very capitalist.

Sure, they have some socialist policies, but so do Norway, Germany and Mexico.
