If people chose a ‘red’ government, and they are chosen through continued fair elections with no disingenuous means or force, all the power to them.
What would that look like? Specifically, let us imagine a world where it is true that Cuba or the DPRK or wherever does indeed hold free and fair elections on a regular basis, but that everything else about the world was exactly as you, I assume, admit it is (such as the vicious sanctioning and libel by western powers). From where you are sitting, what would the difference be? What sort of information would you be aware of, would you receive from where you are in the world and the media you consume, that was in any way different?
I have some memory of you being reasonable when actually presented with arguments. I would strongly encourage you to try to actual talk to these people that you speak about in such strong pejoratives, perhaps by asking them non-presumptuous questions. I think you will find that they have more to say than you give them credit for.

No I never implied that at all
Emphasis mine
It originally was used to describe Leftists supporting authoritarianism while claiming to be leftist.
Get out of here with that bad faith nonsense
The users from certain other instances are talking about it nonstop and trying to make it a wedge issue, so it’s not surprising
It’s good practice to link the pamphlet or at least name it
