Actually Robin is right and as is typical the majority is out of touch with reality. Just ask Galileo.

Every country listed has had either a dictator, emperor or president etc during their claim of communism or socialism and note that a lot of those in the line up never claimed to be socialists, they claimed to be communist there is a huge difference.

I can call myself a duck but I am still a human being, period. These regions may have called themselves communist or socialists but they did not meet the definition any more than I meet the definition of a duck.

The meme is a total fail and an example of people's assurance in Truth by Consensus.

Have a great day!

QR codes are great, they can hold an amazing amount of information in a very small amount of space. Though as you have said we should always pay attention to what our device asks us and not just accept whatever is offered. If I scan a QR with my phone and it is a vCard my phone will not just add it, it will ask me what I want to do with it. If I am not expecting a vCard I am just going to ignore it. My devices will not just auto join a network. I have to approve any network before it will join it.

Having sane settings on your devices goes a long way. Pay attention to what your device asks you. If it asks if you want to join a network and you did not expect such then refuse. If it asks if you want to create a new contact and you did not expect a vCard refuse. It really is quite simple to avoid being scammed. You just have to pay attention. If your not sure error on the side of caution. Reject it.

There is never a reason to scan random QR codes. If it is not relevant to something you are doing, such as a user manual you received with a purchase has a QR in it. I scan QR codes at work every day for inventory. etc ...
