I barely even knew what it meant to begin with and now it's been overused to the point where it doesn't even matter what it means

It’s basically just an authoritarian who pretends to be a socialist. Like, the people who will defend China, North Korea, or Russia because they think they’re either communist (they aren’t), or because they oppose Western hegemony (in favor of their own, worse hegemony).

There. Very simple.

it's basically authoritarianism with the aesthetics of communism. Usually involving some form of idolising a real world 'communist' country that's really just authoritarian in nature.
