Back in the day they were saying "don't let the terrorists win"

Now it's communists?

Are there any real communists left in the world?

The only existing communist states left in the world are in China, Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, and North Korea (DPRK).

...and even these states do not claim to have achieved communism in their countries but are supposedly building and working toward its establishment.

China is the most capitalist communist country I've ever seen

China is just capitalism with extra spicy corruption.

China is a fascist economy without the extreme jingoism

Extreme jingoism is more like threatening to invade your closest ally of 150 years because of woke, that's just sparkling imperialism

I don't disagree but that's just whataboutism.

No, it's describing an actual example. This is why whataboutism is a disputed fallacy, you realize.

Though one might point out that while Xi publicly denounces hegemony and extreme nationalism there's quite a lot of jingoist rhetoric pushed through other means, not to mention saber rattling over territory, that's still a far cry from the head of state threatening to invade your neighbors just because.
