Because of its historical ties to ML-ism/Stalinism/Maoism

Should, Democratic Socialists, for example, use “comrade” to address each other?

    You’re not wrong though. I’ve definitely had pretty left leaning (not overtly socialist) friends see the word “comrade” and immediately assume communism. I don’t like the word personally but I’m learning to get used to it as I find more socialist circles irl. It’s hard to separate it from the memes.
