I’m of the opposite opinion. General use of highly specific terms just make y’all look like twats to less-involved people. Then there’s the fact that highly specific names often get treated like an attack on BOTH groups by people with crap critical thinking skills.
Remember that KISS still applies to political discussion and is a good rule. Even idiots and the poorly educated are entitled to a vote so it’s better to keep things closer to the common denominator.
Hmmm I think, but you want to hear a plot twist. Although post COVID there may be many moving more towards a collective thinking there is also the issue of group narcissism.
That anyone who is against the current group-think that we believe promotes social harmony, or promotes an agenda or idea that can be misinterpreted as anti social, or dangerous to the “harmonious” function of society can also apparently be considered a fascist or communist. Let’s not fall into that trap

I believe you can have a secular fascism. There is a current of that in France for example. There’s no harm in being more specific.
