J. W. Mason — Senior German Official: No Deal as Long as Syriza “Communists” in Office

From The Times, via The Australian:
Under the rules of the European Stability Mechanism, the euro’s bailout fund, the German parliament, or Bundestag, has a veto or blocking vote over any new program....
The senior German conservative said that Angela Merkel’s ruling Christian Democrat Union (CDU) and its Bavarian allies the Christian Social Union (CSU) would block any request made while the pair, described as “communists”, remained in power.

Seems to me that in todays neoliberal mindset "communist" is applied to any individual who pauses for a second and asks; "Hey, is this going to be good for most people? No more big picture thinking, simply what will this do for ME...... TODAY?!

The term is simply a scare tactic anymore, it has lost all meaning.
