A thing that really annoys me is how the right has seized the term economic freedom, defined it as the ability of the bourgeoisie to hoard as much wealth and possible and use it in their propaganda as if that narrow special interest is at par with fundamental personal and political freedoms.
I would like the left to claim it back. Being economically free should mean that you control the product of your own labour, that you have access to the economic means of a full and dignified existence, that you have access to free healthcare and that you are not at risk of poverty.
It’s very easy to let libs paint us into a contrarian corner, because they are wrong about almost everything. Then they change the meanings of words like it’s 1984, and we look mega stupid.
