That's a pretty big reach for most people though. To realize that the depiction is of what Trump says is communism and not actually Russian communism. Most people are going to regard this as communist propaganda attempting to cover for Stalin. (They won't even know Lenin was in charge in 1917) And they will disregard it completely.

It's a meme aimed to ridicule the rhetoric of the U.S. Republican party aimed at portraying Democrats as communists, which is still a swear word in America.

Like, "imagine if actual communists (represented by Bolsheviks in the meme) were that mild".
