[QUOTE="zippy2006, post: 75153377, member: 342410"] You often find the intellectual blinders in the exact reverse. Various progressive groups walk like Marxists, swim like Marxists, and quack like Marxists, but vehemently deny they are Marxists because of that "scary sounding label." Knee-jerk reactions to the label span the spectrum; [USER=428671]@istodolez[/USER]'s isn't any more robust than a conservative's. But your angle is also quite strange: "It's just a word, it's just a label that is associated with fear." Gee, maybe we ought to ask ourselves [I]why[/I] it is associated with fear? After all, there are plenty of words that are associated with fear for good reason. "Nah, let's just adopt the ideology and ditch the name to avoid these absurdly obvious questions!" [/QUOTE]
