Communism is the elimination of private property and market capitalism. Every time you use the word "communist" to mean "thing I don't like" you weaken the definition, weaken your own argument, and look stupid.
Communism is what communists do. If every communist group creates "state capitalism" the moment they get into power then that is communism no matter what utopic fever dream they preach.
The ultimate end of improperly regulated capitalism is also state capitalism. So why not rail against state capitalism instead of one of the multiple systems that spawns it?

"Improperly regulated" means "we let the commies have a few 'common sense regulations' and they took control of everything again."

I do, except I use the correct name for it: Communism.
