Why do Liberals intentionally misuse words?

"Communism",
but I see no attempt to abolish the current state of things, just liberals angry at capitalism's oligarchial tendencies, which Marx denounced as barely enough, a almost-awakened servant of the system, in many of his writings.

"Fascism",
but I see no mention of a corporative state, nationalism, the totalitarian state, sociality. In fact, they want less nationalism, less trade union power, more power to Israel.

"Democratic socialism",
but private property rights are fully retained, and the relation between the bourgeois and proletariat is pacified.

"Anarchism",
but no mentions of abolishing authority, only either "chaos" or radical democracy, and riding off whatever the Liberal media says. Oh, and loves small businesses, can't forget that.

So? Can Liberals (including American Conservatives and Pro-Americans) please explain how they believe they are using these words completely correctly according to doctrine?

Why do you intentionally misuse the word liberal?

Liberal doesn't remotely mean left. Labels are just confusing anyway.

Marx laid it out nicely; they do that to mess up their foes' arguments; get inside their opponents' arguments, and generally carry out a type of infiltration assault via information/misinformation to be truthful.
I mean, Karl Marx was perfectly vile, to the point that someone kind of made a rendition of *him* as a D&D character, an evil one at that, as gamemaster, and it is no stretch of logic to refer to *him* as the devil's ambassador, given what *he* pushed for! But he does break down their own methods quite well.
Truth be told; if you wanted a real-world supervillain of a sort, you'd be hard pressed to find a more accurate one than *him*!

why are you intentionally misusing the word liberal?

CaractacusRex 29 Apr @ 7:19am

Because otherwise they can't win an argument.

Yes! That's long been their tactics, obviscate the issues by divorcing words from their meanings in people's heads!

They use words because they believe in the power of them and a lot of people simply don't research the term they use and how it is being misused.

You can't say it doesn't work because there are quite a few misguided individuals that just lap up everything they say and simply believe it.

I once again go the the quote Ben Kenobi used in Star Wars: A New Hope ...

Who is more the fool ... the fool or the fool who follows?

Knowledge is power. They count on those without knowledge to sheeple along behind them without question. That is why people like me stopped being Liberals a long time ago.

You can only stomach so much ignorance, lies, and deceit before you stop believing they tell the truth.

Marx wrote his book long before the giant or over-reaching corporations of today.

When Mussolini created Fascism one of the things he did was take over many of the corporations. Nationalism is a prime ingredient of Fascism. I don't know where you got your information...

Democratic Socialism has to do with a democratic political system that provides social benefits and safety nets to the citizens. Property rights are not an issue within it.

Anarchism does not equal "radical democracy". Where did you ever hear that?!

You need to expand your attention beyond Fox or Sky News. Maybe read a few books on the subject, and not from some Fox News pundit.
