A century after Lenin's death, the once-omnipresent image of Vladimir Lenin is largely an afterthought in modern Russia, with the Red Square mausoleum drawing far fewer visitors than the Moscow Zoo. The ideology that Lenin championed is now a sideshow in modern Russia, with the Communist Party holding only 16% of the seats in parliament. Despite occasional initiatives to remove Lenin's body from the mausoleum, many Russians still hold strong emotional ties to him, while President Vladimir Putin appears inclined to keep Lenin at arm's length.

Elon Musk claims that his daughter's attendance at a progressive Los Angeles school has turned her into a communist who believes that anyone rich is evil. In an excerpt from an upcoming biography, Musk partially blames the school, Crossroads, for the strained relationship he has with his child, who transitioned from Xavier to Jenna at age 16. Musk expressed his disappointment and attempts to reconcile, but his child has chosen to break off all relations with him.
Former President Donald Trump has proposed using Section 212 (f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to deny entry to all "communists" and "Marxists" into the United States. However, existing U.S. immigration law already bars members of Communist Parties from becoming naturalized citizens or green card holders. Trump's proposal raises questions about the legality and practicality of such a ban, as well as its focus on political theories that have limited support in the country. Legal experts suggest that a blanket exclusion would likely face legal challenges and that exceptions would need to be made. If implemented, the ban would primarily impact China, where millions of people are members of the Communist Party. However, the number of communists and Marxists in the U.S. is relatively small, and the fear-mongering rhetoric serves as a political strategy to appeal to Trump's base.
