Is socialist a word devoid of all meaning now, and you can negate any argument that uses it?
Again with "trying to use the word socialist without a clear definition is not making your argument any more credible."
- dragonwriter 10y agoIt was certainly devoid of meaning when it came to its use in the name "National Socialist Worker's Party". In other contexts, it's oftsn used with substantial meaning, and even often with a consistent enough meaning that uses are comparable. But that doesn't suddenly render the atypical uses examples of the usual meaning.
