I’d much rather discuss ideas than have them packaged for me as permissible or disallowed ideologies. To dismiss any idea as “socialist” because you’re told that it should be packaged thus, or “capitalist” because you are told that it must be packaged thus, not only removes you from any meaningful discourse, but enslaves you to the rhetorical tricks of the powerful classes that benefit from your complicity.

Absolutely. Labels enslave ideas, just as much as ignorance or bias.

In other words, if you think you aren’t being manipulated, that’s exactly what they want you to think. 😏
