this seems yet another talky, time-wasting, intellectually self-indulgent detour (blind alley?) on semantics — rather than on actionable next steps.
what needed instead is action plan to inform and energize vast majority of US citizens (99%+ of electorate) as to what their actual economic self interest is, and how they are being deceived by self-serving oligarchs (and what this has already cost them over past 40 years).
in asia they used traveling bands of shadow puppeteers, musicians, actors and speakers to educate/inform rural (and urban) villagers about why (and how) to overthrow western colonialism
could do the same (against western colonialism) in rural and urban red-state America if informed people would stop just talking semantics (& shoes, ships, cabbages and kings), roll up their sleeves and get down to practical business of achieving progress — one village and one villager at a time.
sure it could be a Long March (multi-generational?), but plurality begins with accumulating a single additional vote at a time. merely debating semantics (and waving arms and tongues in the air) ain’t going to get it done; time to put up and shut up.
