Are there even any countries in Eastern Europe continuing under anything resembling the former USSR's system, let alone Lenin's original ideals regarding communism?   ???

Why is communism such a commonly thrown-around word in US politics?

Most the time I hear it used, it makes little to no sense.

Well, you've got North Korea and China essentially, although both aren't really communist per se.

NK is more like Stalinism (or brokenism), while China is command-and-control capitalism.
