Does anyone in America still know what these words mean?
Advertisements [?]
Socialism. Fascism. Communism. Nazi. Racist. Sexist.

We've all been using these words for so long as tools of political convenience that they've been completely drained of all meaning. Our kids and grandkids will have NO IDEA the horror (or non-horror) that originally lay behind some of these words.
