Jimmy Dore can be funny. It's a shame he's a commie.

He's NOT a commie. He's a classic progressive old-Lefty.

It's a shame he's not a voluntarist and conspirophile.

I'm not really a political-term enthusiast, so I would just consider anyone to the left of center as entitled to a free helicopter ride.

*That might change entirely in a society completely different from this one, but different topic.

Fair enough.

"/s/Progressivism" as term is being completely subverted and corrupted and claimed by Dems and SJWs who are NOT progressive. SJWs and most Dems IMO have escalated to be worse than commies, though the death toll may have not yet added up, depending on how you count it.

On another level all of what I just said is meaningless in a sense. Not wrong, but meaningless because the left-right paradigm is bullshit political theater to distract and divide while the ruling class does what it wants anyway. The totalitarians have always been in control, but now they're escalating their eugenics /s/Agenda21_Agenda2030.

The /s/ClassWar includes the politcs, propaganda, censorship, actual war, cyber war, psy war, and of course the culture war, including the war on words with division of definitions and distracting confusion by subverting communication.

IMO we need to resist by laying out the different definitions, reject the corporate media terms, and come up with our own indie-culture phrases, meme-like or serious, to better communicate.

/s/Terminology matters.

Agreed, but I don't think there's much hope with 'resistance' efforts, because the 'elite' are pretty much right about the 90-99%. There are counter-arguments to be made, but first look around at the culture and ways of living that people just tolerate.

Sure the sheeple are problematic and easily brainwashed by the corporatocracy's duopoly/MSM propaganda and consume-product-culture hegemony, but I'd say they're only 60%, while 20% are resisting and 20% are problematic, including the 1%.

Yes, in general, most culture and people suck and are no better than state pets, soon to be put down.
