Maybe the purpose of a system is what it does…
Maybe trying to lower the rate/efficiency of the baby-killing machine is the wrong approach…
Maybe you should be thinking about destroying it…

    It is semantics, I agree. But tainted semantics and objectively wrong.

    You could instead say “communist-led country”, “socialist country”.

    The mainstream usage doesn’t understand the nuance you mentioned btw

      Most people don’t have much insight into politics in general, but for a specifically leftist sub the use of such term would seem fine imo since you could expect people to understand the difference. But a better, more precise term would be better.
