    Hmmm. Do you always disambiguate word meanings by first taking them out of context and then applying some textbook definition you like?

    I clearly meant this: https://www.jstor.org/stable/43783789

    Even people writing papers on this use this word to mean that in this context.

    I’m not denying other meanings exist. I’m just saying that you’re kinda being a jerk to get UMMM-ACTUALLYYY smart-points. In your head. They are only in your head my dude.

      And? There are people “writing papers” that still think the USSR was “socialist” or that the US is “democratic.”

      Political concepts have meaning, genius - that meaning doesn’t change just because said meaning upsets the feels of liberals such as yourself, okay?
