I always point out, that it is not simply a descriptive term, but has a strong prescriptive element. It shapes expectations, about what is possible and not possible politically.
As with so many of these supposed comparisons it's designed to be familiar and comforting, as a tool for PR or propaganda it's probably useful, as 'history' it's useless
