Sorry. I completely skipped that when I read the thread. My apologies.

ETA: looking at the time posted, I think I was probably composing my post right below yours when you posted it. I'm just that much slower.

Here's what I had in mind: "The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies 'something not desirable.'" (ETA: I thought I did, but it's not linked in wiki, so who knows)

I had forgotten about it but came across it when I was looking up corporatism and fascism again on Wikipedia which is much lower-brow than your linked article, which I think I read a long time ago just on language generally.

Now there's some irony for you, Mr. Paulson. But yeah, EW, you're sounding a bit hysterical there.

You, and Mr. Orwell, are right.
