I think it's become a law of discourse on the internet that any term used by "the left" will inevitably be laundered and poisoned by groypers and trolls until it simply becomes a general anti-progressive pejorative.
And the drifting definition of "the left" within American political discourse itself is an exemplar. At this point simply not being a racist and a homophobe and believing vaccines are real is considered "socialism." Like the Overton window has drifted so far and so many things are "socialist" and "communist" that we need a new word for the people who actually want to seize the means of production and such.
