Perhaps, but the same argument also works for "Communist" and "Socialist" and so on. A former partner's mother was once called a liberal or a democrat for something minor, I forget what now possibly asking for a tip, and her response was "No sir, I'm a communist". I'm never actually delved too deeply into the mother's political views, but my ex herself was openly, explicitly, literally, a communist. (For various reasons, even though said ex is American by birth, I suspect her well-documented politics may now cause me difficulty entering the USA were I to attempt it).
