I increasingly think that “freedom” is the most important word to take back from the fascists.

In rightwing hands, freedom often means
“no rules to allow billionaires to accumulate all the profits and power” or “privatize and destroy societal services” — schools to healthcare.

Real freedom is freedom from want, freedom to pursue happiness without worry about healthcare bankruptcy and with good schools for all.

@protecttruth absolutely - the fascist manipulators of the uneducated and the disenfranchised just use it as a dog whistle to stir up "passion" (inevitably manifesting in violence)

Freedom from Want is so eloquently discussed here by #DarrenMcGarvey in his compelling #ReifLecture for the #BBC
