Funniest? Taylor Swift. make her subsequent album all in Maoist Standard English

But you pretty much have to actually use it on Putin right

That's a perfect answer, really. Doing it on anyone currently in power in the US would just toss aside their power, that's not how the US can be used. Swift would be hilarious.

I feel like Putin would definitely get couped by capital if he woke up and started nationalizing everything

His party really only has himself as the head, the Communist Party is the second most popular (even if it's less radical than the name would have you believe). A joint Communist-beamed Putin and Communist Party alliance would definitely be pushed back against by the domestic bourgeoisie, but the basis for Soviet nostalgia is strong enough in the public.

Medvedev is the de jure head of United Russia right now. I could easily see capital killing Putin and replacing him with Medvedev in that situation. He's not popular but he doesn't need to be in a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. Plus he's easily bought which is nice.
