      I think it’s helped a bit with on boarding but it also causes a lot of confusion in discourse. But on the other hand the people who allowed the terms to develop into social democracy and democratic socialism basically set us up for that decades ago lol

      Wanna err on good because it made socialist less of a dirty word in the imperial core

      100% good because of exactly this. It's infinitely harder to get people into a discussion about what socialism actually is if they reflexively shut their brain off at the word itself.

    There's two types of people when it comes to understanding what communism actually is. People who study communism who do understand it, and literally everyone else, who don't.
