      No worries. There is always confusion around that word now, and that was done purposely.

      Just like what they’re trying to do with “fascist” right now.

          Note that Eco was writing about what he called “Ur-fascism” or nascent fascism.

          I believe that we are past that now. Still a very very good list. I recommend reading the actual essay if you haven’t yet. It’s only like 8 or 9 pages.
