Authoritarian communist, essentially
Wikipedia has a good article about the term
If you think Hitler is bad, wait until you hear what he has to say about the soviets!
But seriously this is an argument that has been over since before anyone alive today was ever born

That would probably be some ultras, they are very desperate to be recognized by liberals as "true communists" unlike those "fake authoritarians". Liberals of course don't give a shit and immediately labeled ultras as tankies as well.
Just replace "woke" with "russian".
Its become the boomer equivalent of calling everything bad communist.
