Their form of socialism isn't socialism.

Hence why they have to label every single contradictory example of Marxist-Leninism as "Socialism with <INSERT COUNTRY OR CULTURE HERE> Characteristics".

It just so happened that socialism with a specific country's characteristics can include countries that have entirely abandoned socialism and their persuit of it.
