It’s the same people claiming the Soviets were socialists, rather than hyper capitalists.
They’re an oligarchical setup, just like the soviets were, just like Russia is, just like the US is.
It’s crazy because even lenin claimed the ussr was state capitalism, and anyone that thinks stalins take over fixed that is an idiot. There were socialist and communist in some power there just like China now, but they are at best a check on the otherwise unchecked capitalist system that those countries primarily are.
