We shouldn't. The terms have a long and well established history. There is no reason why marxist-monist-materialists should dictate our vocabulary. They like to proscribe and redefine commonly used terms (like 'ape' for example.) There is no reason to concede to such tactics.

They like to redefine EVERYTHING, as is was evidenced by cm's homepage. You're absolute right.
If we can't define scientific terms, they can't define non-scientific ones.
