Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

If folks haven't read it, I recommend @annaleen.bsky.social's Stories are Weapons, which is unfortunately more and more relevant during this administration. When I started it, I thought, "yeah yeah, I know this." But each chapter was 🤯; well researched analysis of these tactics, recent & historical.

The term checkmate betrays chess' Indo-Persian origins, as does the name. Chess comes from the Italian scacchi, which is descended from the Persian word for king, Shah. Checkmate is Shah Mat: the King is Helpless. #FolkyFriday
