It’s not a stand-in. It’s repurposing the meme format to focus on the current figureheads of various oppressive states in the current age, the fact that the original used communism has no bearing on the rework. There is no implied, implicit or explicit linking between the subjects of the original and of the rework, save for their relative locations in the image.
I hope this removes any room for further misinterpretation
