Commie guns with sloppy tolerance chambers were designed for steel cased ammo, particularly the old Yugo SKS. I've never owned a modern firearm that functioned near as reliably with steel case as with brass , or even aluminum. The copper washed steel cased Brown Bear is still steel cased too.
Actually, I guess I just tend to discriminate against supporting commie business ventures too ;)

I'd doubt that capitalism has anything to do with the physical characteristics of steel vs. brass .....
