Is it only me or does anyone else also feel the yuck when someone utters the word 'leftism'? (lemmygrad.ml)

It will always mean the project of democratization and uprooting oligarchy, per its origin, as far as I'm concerned. Seems to me a lot of history goes with it if that ground is surrendered.

I grew up in propaganda soup that resulted in me feeling the yuck at the mention of communism, but I got over it when I found out what communism actually is. Now people can abuse the term all day and I will recognize it as ignorance or malice or both. I will continue to recognize that Marxism-Leninism is the most proven means of democratization and uprooting oligarchy.
