The part about lefties like Bernie Saunders and the Bernie Bro trying to redefine the word "socialism" is particularly powerful. Why do they think it is any importance to change the usage of a word whose meaning was indeliably fixed by the 20th century? It means they are more attached to the "word" as a self-identifier than to any underlying principles. It is pathetic that those who say they seek a new world, can't even find a new word.

Thanks for commenting! I'm not sure what the answer is to your question; I hope to find out what the argument is.
