It almost seems as though (at least in the U.S.) both those who wave the label "Maoism" as their 'own' (i.e. Chairman Bob) _and_ those who use it as the name of all that is evil (e.g. Dennis) are mirror images of each other. They both see labels as magical, but one ascribes a plus to the magic, the other a minus.
