Of course, communism is an ideology about swapping words around in order to suit this or that political utility, to launder this or that viewpoint, to be convincing to the people I want to convince.
I fucking loathe these word games that people play. It is bourgeois bullshit that tries to substitute abstraction for concreteness. Rather than teach, it confuses. It declares absolute correctness, when communists have a prerogative to engage and build deep roots within the toiling classes. It strives with puritanical fervor toward the ideal, and punishes anyone who fails to meet it, and hides the fact that ideals are created and maintained by power and violence.
It's always just bourgeois/fascist aesthetics.
Sadly, Communism's biggest weakness is when you change a word around, you change the very nature of the thing itself and reality spontaneously shifts to match the new definition and there is nothing we can do to stop it.
