Just because the Nazis called themselves the "national socialist party" did NOT make them communists. They called themselves that to attract naive revolutionary idiots who thought the government would help them. But they were always fascists.

North Korea calls itself "The People's Democratic Republic of North Korea" even though is not the People's, not Democratic, and definitely not a Republic. It's a marketing gimmick by the government to pretend that it's something it isn't.
