Using it as a perjorative for someones entire ideological system is essentially implying that all they want and intend to work towards is "state capitalism" and that that is the core of their ideology, its the same shit as like "State socialist", its discarding all nuance about the utility and necessity of a state and instead just going "THESE GUYS ARE BAD BECAUSE THEY JUST LOVE STATES AND WANTS TO OPPRESS EVERYONE UNDER A STATE".
"State Capitalist" is so effective for a certain type of leftist because they have the fundamental delusion that economy is separate from the government. This makes 'State Capitalism' worse than the supposedly neutral liberal capitalism where most aspects of life are relegated to the free market. Even if they are socialists or even communists, they have rhetorical license to trivialize the struggle of anyone who ever fought for these causes as oppressed lackeys for backwards oriental despots.
These same types LOVE martyrs though, name a failed left wing struggle and they'll write you a poem about it. It's only the groups that fought fascism/imperialism/capitalism and won (even for a short time) that deserve condemmnation.
