They're using a word their base is afraid of to paint their enemies in a negative light.

Their words aren't for any of us.

They'll change to using anarchist satanists or whatever once their base has reached somatic satiation and "communist" no longer generates enough of the right dopamine hit.

Oh I'm aware, believe me. The world would be a much better place if Kamala was actually a Communist is what I'm saying.

If Kamala had tried to do anything vaguely socialist while AG or Senator, they'd have gakked her like they did Harvey Milk.

Silicon Valley leadership wants to turn California into a fully techno-fascist dystopia. Nobody who has climbed the ladder as Dem, Repub, or Indie politician has lasted long against that effort. Harris isn't an exception. She's the kind of politician a state produces when anyone more liberal than Gruesome Newsome is systematically excluded from the party.

Exactly. The entire electoral system is a great filtering process.

Or they'll get lucky and a new term like Trans or BLM will come along.

Hate is hate. People that hate will hate. Societies that don't respond quickly and firmly to reduce hate will grow more hate. Etc .

Ideas come from material conditions, hatred of trans people, black people, etc. is a result of rising fascism due to decay in Capitalism and proletarianization of the Petite Bourgeoisie.

Yeah. Good ol fear leading to authoritarianism. One day maybe humans will able to teach enough history to enough humans living on earth at one time to finally learn to not repeat these cycles..

I truly had no idea the English name was similar to the French one. TIL something.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The English Name is the french name carried over, to be fair

Indeed, but just to be sure, is the meaning the same? The lower fringe/extremity of the bourgeoisie, often with more cultural capital than economical (teachers, non-pauperized nurses, young journalists, PhD in social sciences, etc.), joyfully rebellious but also with high levels of strict adherence to the established order, main agents of the gentrification of formerly popular urban neighborhood but whose younger generations can sometimes adhere to revolutionary perspectives, strongly despised by orthodox marxists while being the primary audience of such movements/orgs?

Generally the Petitie Bourgeoisie are the lower stratum of the Bourgeoisie proper who are proletatianized by the formation of Monopoly Capitalism, ie small business owners.

Interesting thanks. Close enough but maybe different cultural overtones. I must admit I didn't take time to check a more consistent definition as I'm 65% taking a nap.
