      We got:

      1. Double down and fix public perception/rectify the definition

      2. Switch to a different term

      3. Avoid terms all together, focus on ideas and values

      4. Demolish any positive opinions of capitalism

      Maybe there is more options, but to me #2 is probably a losing strategy, as conservatives/fascists will continue to dirty whatever new label is made, just as they’ve done with everything else. It’ll just get us back to square 1.

      A mix of #1 and #3 is probably the move. Get everybody on board with the ideas and values, while making slow progress in the background on #1.

      #4 is another one that can and should always be worked on

      I hate marxism, but that’s because I’m a Mutualist and agree with Proudhon’s criticisms of Marx.

      He materialist approach of Marxism misses far too much of what motivates humans to be viable.
