I fail to see how the "dictatorial part" by itself is communist. If you aren't economically communist, how can you be communist when communism is an economic system? It would be like claiming a country that got rid of investments and capital gains and private ownership of industry is still capitalist because it is a political republic, despite the fact that you can be capitalist under any political system.
