No, you're completely correct in that regard. But likewise I don't think anyone is pretending there is any likelihood of a Soviet style communist state ever replacing any western government. So why does it always seem to be trotted out by those on the right who want to reduce a left leaning argument into an absurd binary choice.
The left wingers have their own absurdist comparisons, and I find them equally childish and tiresome, and believe that anyone using them should be called out and ridiculed into submission.
