I suspect that most Americans don't really know who the Bolsheviks were, and only have some vague idea of what Communism is. Even on Lemmy.
And that USSR never got to Communism, it was a socialist state with plan economy, that promised people that "one day we'll be able to move away from this imperfect system to some real cool utopian stuff, we just have to work hard for 20 more years". And it was 20 more years each year until USSR fell apart. So, nobody ever lived in a true communist state.
