Confusing Terms, Clear Reality: How We Turn Everyday Ideas Into a Riddle
Is it just me or some of the words we use to describe capitalism is annoying and confusing? Like what is the point of the term fascism? Fascism is just a scarier form of capitalism. It's similar to other terms and descriptions.
What is the point of terms like vanguardism, state socialism, social democracy, and democratic socialism? The last two just don't make any fucking sense. It's just capitalism with extra steps. It uses characteristics of capitalism and socialism, but in a way that contains capitalism. Contained capitalism while fascism is the latter, uncontained. And wouldn't state socialism be essentially social democracy without the democracy part since it's a welfare state as well?
And vanguardism is taking control of a country and governing under the guise to help the people to get to communism (historically that is what the USSR/Soviet Union has and was also state capitalist as other countries that were influenced by them, though they approach it differently and got there differently).
But this can be also applied to other concepts. There is no need for some of these words. I think it's a way to make communication harder than it needs to be and makes it less accessible. There is nothing wrong with education or learning, but why do we have these words and why don't you explain? Not everyone knows what limerence or technocracy is. Hell, I didn't even know (and this is coming from someone who learns and likes learning).
We should say things simply because it helps our audience understand it, makes knowledge accessible, is a skill, and you're not any smarter for being confusing. This is real life not academia or a debate.
