    “Who owns the definitions, indeed, owns much”

    Exactly but the redefinitions have to be commonly accepted and the Socialists/Fascists/Liberals/Progressives/Activists or whatever they care to call themselves this week have not been able to come up with definitions the public accepts; Most recognize propaganda when they see it. Worse yet, they are just as vulnerable to this redefinition of jargon as we are. Addressing these aspiring tyrants with humor goes a long way to calling attention to their efforts and frustrating their efforts.
