3 words the left redefined to our detriment

Political correctness is an abstract from the pit of hell, and it smells like smoke. It is dependent upon demagoguing people not to speak truth and the corruption of speech by redefining verbiage.

When I speak of the corruption of speech by the redefining of verbiage, a prime example is the word “fascism.” As my son pointed out to me, Google defines “fascism” as: “An authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization; (in general use) extreme right-wing, authoritarian, or intolerant views or practice.”

The Google definition most accurately defines those inhabiting the California state education system. And what group has been more “intolerant” of the views of others than those opposing the presidency of Donald Trump? But I digress.

My Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, defines “fascism” as: “a political philosophy, movement or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition; tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control.”

As long as they think they can define the parameters, they'l push it as far as they can. Have an enjoyable 4th of July but just don't get to feelin' TOO patiotic. ;-)

I would add “red” to this list. Does anybody remember the communist threat being termed as red? I’d rather be dead than red. Now it is completely flipped.

Quack, Waddle -

CORPORATISM is COLLECTIVISM is COMMUNISM is...

"...who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time;

 

...

 

 that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of civil government, for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order; and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them. "

Simply put, it means big government. Who believes in that? Certainly not the right wing. Belief in limited government is the exact opposite of fascism. Now we have liberals actually saying that the founding fathers were socialists, atheists, and fascism = capitalism. Everything they stand for reeks of real fascism.

[a fool in paradise]

Same way the Reds now call themselves Greens. Diversionary tactics

Stalinists lie. Always

[Common Sense 101]

Fascist to the leftard is anyone who does not believe as they do...

3 words the left redefined to our detriment

Gay rather than homosexual.
Gender rather than sex.
Immigrant instead of criminal invader.

[rktman]

Ah ha. The old “We’re right, you’re wrong so shut up!” argument. ;-)

[marron]

Most Marxist regimes employ fascistic elements as a part of rallying the people to keep them in power.

Fascism and Marxism are two sides of a single coin. Classic liberal, “conservative”, constitutionalists are nowhere on that continuum. We aren’t “halfway between” two totalitarian forms, we are something entirely apart. We believe in freedom, which means we believe in limited government, government with limited ambitions and limited powers to achieve those limited ambitions. That means, we are content to allow people to muddle through by their own lights.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Fascism is now defined by the left as any political philosophy that denies people the right to marry a goat.

[heterosupremacist]

From the article “An example of this would be the word “gay.” How did a word that the Oxford Dictionary and Webster’s Dictionary defined as: “happily excited, merry, keenly alive and exuberant, having or inducing high spirits; bright, lively, brilliant in color; given to social pleasure, licentious;” come to incorporate homosexual, of relating to or used by homosexuals?

Some sources say homosexuals adopted the word “gay” because the word “homosexual” was too clinical sounding and/or sounded too much like a disorder.

I submit that homosexuals didn’t adopt the word “gay”; they forcibly conscripted it through intimidation and demagoguery.

I further submit that the reason for same was precisely to anesthetize the public into accepting sexual perversion as normal. The last thing homosexuals wanted was any public thought given to how unnatural it was for men to sodomize one another and for women to lust after sexual perversion with other women.”

Just three words??

They’ve got they’re own dictionary!

[spankalib]

“...homosexuals adopted the word “gay” because the word “homosexual” was too clinical sounding and/or sounded too much like a disorder.”

IOW, they were AFRAID of being identified truly.

Thus, they themselves are the homoPHOBES.

[Wildbill22]

The left modifies or outright changes definitions in order to control the conversation, which is in part to keep the opposition (us) off ballance, and there is no better way than to brow beat you with their political correctness and redefinitions. They even change their own definitions, hence the numerous ways that it is acceptable to describe the black race, today anything other than “african American” is offensive to some.

Karl Marx defined in his book Das Kapital the class struggle, by defining the free market as “capitalism”, in his words, to have the means of production owned and controlled by the individual. Socialism, and you could easily argue fascism, is where you depart crony capitalism as you move leftward on the totalitarian scale away from the free market, and arrive at the point where government controls the privately owned means of production. Further left is of course communism, where government controls and OWNS the means of production. Today the left has made fascism an extreme on the right, where is is in reality far to the left of mainstream America. A myth that was brought about by the left by the WW2 situation where Nazi’s were to the ‘right’ of Josef Stalin’s USSR, which is correct, but still to the LEFT of a free market economy.

Today the left wants us to forget Marx, because the failures of the left are historical fact, and to redefine the right in this country as on the side of one of the failed leftist concepts (Nazi, or National Socialist Party) promotes their agenda with that fake history.

spankalib ““...homosexuals adopted the word “gay” because the word “homosexual” was too clinical sounding and/or sounded too much like a disorder.”

Homosexuality was listed in the APA ‘DSM’ until 1973. The APA held their national convention in San Francisco that year, and militant homos disrupted the event - not entirely necessary - the bigshots in the APA were mostly queers, anyway...

“IOW, they were AFRAID of being identified truly.

Good point! Good post.
