Oh yes because those same westerners are talking about Soviet Union 2, not democracy in the workplace.

    Then don't call it communism.

    If a vaguely populist leader started outright talking about supporting fascism, that would quite rightly bring to mind at least Italian Fascism if not German Nazism, and arguing that they just meant the idea of close mutual support and people being stronger together (like a fasces) would not work.

    But weren't those states actually fascist? Close mutual support and being stronger together are fairly universal values that aren't exclusive to one ideology, whereas democracy in the workplace is actually something specific to left wing ideology.
