Newspeak

It's well known among liberals that neoconservatives have their origins in Trotsky. One of the things Trotsky was in to was the redefinition of language made so famous by Orwell in his Newspeak.

Case and point, socialism as code for "guy we don't like." Writ large in the laugable "Liberal Fascism," Freepers are ably extending it for the proles:

bruinbirdman tries to make a system out of it:

They were all communists. Communism = socialism = fascism = national socialism = progressivism = Democrat Party leadership today.

Who is the head of the Democrat Party in the U.S.A.?

stockpirate further unifies Freepers' enemies under the socialist/Nazi rubric:

The Muslim world is firmly rooted in NAZI Germany.

detective is the one that really internalizes the newspeak; he doesn't try to systemize it with doublethink; he just lets any old meaning go down the memory hole:

“Hitler made promises to everyone and then betrayed them.”

Can you name a single socialist who didn’t act this same way once he achieved power?

So now a politician is defined as socialist whenever they break a promise. Promise, of course, also being defined by the Ministry of Freeper Sanity.
