@aven @Moon @lain @feld @ademan the very nature of language is that definitions change over time. The whole idea that "words have meanings" is both ridiculous and obvious. On that note most linguist actually track the use of "Capitalissm" first to Karl Marx and his comrades meaning control by those with large amounts of capital. So either way it's just arguing for the sake of arguing, if that's how you get your jollies so be it, but it's not how to change hearts and minds.
