I don’t think it’s a very useful term in itself, more of a bumper sticker clapback at radlibs or ultraleftists or such who have tepid criticisms of nominally socialist states.
If those people aren’t part of the conversation, I think we can go a bit deeper than categorizing countries into “these are/are not socialist”
