Because they think the "capitalism" part proves it's not socialist. Every so often a Marxist term gets noticed by libs, then adopted and diluted by their surface level understanding until it becomes functionally meaningless. See also: tankies.

Did Marx use the term Tankies?

Marx through his dialectical materialism powers actually invented tanks in the 1800's.
