Like how many words do you need to reinvent the thing. A lot of those types are just ignorant libs who need a push, but I think some of them, like Roger Halan or Jem Bendell, are maybe avoiding saying the words intentionally for any number of reasons.

I think your point is, why don't they just admit we need communism? That's the thing they are defining when they describe what we need.

Your post put the idea into my head that, maybe they are. Maybe they know we need communism but they're using such obscure language so the libs will be agreeing with them and start looking for communism without knowing that's what they're looking for.

I don't know, that's pretty wishful thinking on my part.

The word "communism" itself has been so smeared with propaganda that the average person might agree 100% with communist principles, but as soon as you say the word they get the ick.
