I think you misunderstood. I said if someone has heard the term "anarcho-syndicalist", there is a very high chance it's from the Holy Grial. Not 99% of people in the world are familiar with the term.

- kragen 2y agoyou're still overestimating how much you know about the world, by a lot. in the spanish-speaking world, for example, anarcho-syndicalism is much better known than monty python (though, not among programmers, because they speak english and write python). and i'm guessing that monty python isn't that widely known among arabic speakers, russian speakers, and chinese speakers, while anarcho-syndicalism is a significant historical strain of socialism a significant number of them are acquainted with making any statement about 99% of the people who have heard of anarcho-syndicalism represents a staggering degree of unconcern for veracity, given how hard it is to get a handle on that group

I can imagine the parrot sketch, the Hungarian phrasebook, how not to be seen, and most of the bits in "And Now for Something Completely Different" working pretty well with minimal English language comprehension.
