The People

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 29

Marxists use linguistic tricks. "Communists share your vocabulary but they don't share your dictionary" is a common way of putting it. One of the dirtiest of those tricks is on the word "people." Whether it's in establishing "Democratic People's Republics" or championing "the people's movement," Communists are always subtly telling us that the only people they count as people are Communists. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains this history and usage and ties it to a present-day example that, on the surface, looks funny but turns out to show an ugly hand.
