Words Matter

Words matter. If you call someone a communist, you should at least know what it means.

Too bad that the people who really need to hear this won't listen.

[c.a.t.]

"Fascism: a system of extreme right-wing dictatorial government". Oxford American Dictionary.

[thefisherking]

I am SO VERY TIRED of people using these words without knowing their basic meanings

[Metaspace]

The fact this needs to be explained tells a lot about the US education system

[asheronthedruid]

I would like to add one additional characteristic of a fascist leader - never admitting to any mistakes they make, no matter how culpable they are.

For a 4 1/2 minute video, this is one of the most concise and accurate descriptions of what these, so often misunderstood, but extremely important political terms mean. Most people who use them have no clue, or purposely cannibalize them, especially those on the right.

[timberrington]

Good job explaining. Trump wants to succeed where Hitler failed.

[ludameri]

This just proved my theory that most Americans have no clue what communism/socialism/marxism is

[leannecolephotography]

It is good to hear an American really explaining what these terms are. So many times you hear American's talking about Communism and you realise they don't know what it means and what they are really referring to is totalitarianism or facism. Thank you for trying to make people understand.

So true!
If he has a clue about what he is talking, he has never shown it.
His talk always mirrors one thing:
Complete Ignorance.

Exactly! Also, actual socialists hate when people call liberals "socialists" and hate even more when liberals try to call themselves "socialists". Liberalism is capitalism. That is, using liberal in the realpolitik sense.

[EnvironmentalCoffeehouse]

You made the exact video that I would've liked to make. During the debate with Trump I was screaming "ask him what Marxism means". I'm getting so sick of this bullshit. Thanks for explaining it.

[lovehatetragedy]

Standing ovation 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾! I am so tired of the actual Facist calling everyone else one. Thank you for putting this into terms everyone can understand.

[OutdoorCO]

And just think, tens of millions of people don’t care about what things really mean, they just want to follow the cult leader. Great video!

[kathleen]

Thank you, Leigh, for calling that thug out again ! 🙏💙💗🙏

Well said, this needs to be played on national TV in the US every hour of every day until the election. It wouldn't hurt for it to be translated and played across Russia, Israel and a few other countries as well.

[byecatsstacey]

Precisely. Sadly, it is exactly what his cult wants and there is no changing their minds.

Par for course that everything that golfer guy says is really what HE IS.

Bravo! This is why language (and by extension education) matters. Orwell never intended 1984 to be a "how to" manual, but it seems to have been highly predictive of current politics.
