Most governments with the Communist in the name, are just state run capitalists
'Communist' party
has nothing to do with communism
'Democratic' party
has nothing to do with democracy
Republican fits too, but Democratic is more obvious.

Yes, using a planned economy to corner the market is such an amazing capilitistic accomplishment.
Most hatred for 'capitalism' is specificly for "American capitalism". Even though the problem isnt the economic system, as in reality they all suck arse. Capitalism just sucks the least.

yes for all the wrong reasons
