So he basically predicted the current news cycle issues with American/western media political education. For example if it's not laissez-faire capitalism then it's socialism and heavens forbid the government is the one doing the work then it's communism. However, if you explain to the average person what bill/policy/plan does, alot more will agree and not care and think it's great until the buzzwords they remember to dislike come out.
Basically use buzzwords strategically, people will agree on more than one expects if you get to the core of what's happening. When you use buzzwords the connotations already is set and taints everything you use around them
