They probably mean the entire political system.

Ideally they'd mean capitalism, and establish a socialist state like their neighbouring Cuba. But I'm not getting my hopes up just yet.

That's my point, they have no system it seems. So nothing to overthrow.

And since this guy got his nickname for burning people alive, I kind of expect he's more of a Pol Pot kind of socialist.

Somehow this guy doesn't seem like a socialist revolutionary to me.
