Communism and socialism are bad words because of a long, long running effort by the right wing and US in general to paint them as bad. It doesn’t help much that dictators use them to describe their country while pillaging it.
It makes me think of the DPRK (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) and the People’s Democratic Republic of The Congo both of which are absolute dictatorships.

Good point. We just need some despot to name their country “The Capitalist Democracy of Whatever” and it’s a dictatorship shithole.
Oh wait, guess that’s gonna be us?
