I think this is close, but not quite right. The "leftist" folks around Portland are in a very reactionary mode. The "activist" portion of the community doesn't go out and DO anything, they just hold protests (and never really even "rallies"... they're much more reactionary than that). And the so-called liberal press just reports on the protests moderately favorably. But nobody is pro-active... nobody is trying to make progressive change. They just want to prevent the loss of what they have. And that's reactionary... it is, quite literally, conservative. Christopher Gross wrote: > Okay, but if that's what he meant, he's misusing the word > "reactionary." Well, my dictionary lists the primary meaning of "reactionary" to be "favoring reaction". And while I know nothing about Joan Baez's music in particular, I know a very large number of "leftists" and they almost uniformly favor reaction to pro-action (if I may use such a non-word). My dictionary also says "especially: ultraconservative in politics". Fighting new opression is conservative... it is an attempt to conserve the freedoms we once had. Fighting vehemently would make you "ultraconservative" in my book. And, to pull out a real political example, George W. Bush's crew is far-reaching in its attempt to find NEW ways to codify and expand the power of the currently powerful. This is ambitious and ambition is clearly not conservative. You could use terms like "progressive" and "regressive", but that depends on your interpretation of "progress". Is anything that moves way from the status quo progressive? Is anything that moves toward a former condition regressive? The problem is the whole concept of lumping beliefs together. There are issues and there are coherent value systems. Political labels are a kind of extreme laziness wherein attributes are implied without direct evidence and values are adopted without careful analysis. > That's like using "penultimate" to mean "the very last," or > substituting "to" for "too." Hardly, Chris. The two examples you gave where examples of complete misuse of a word. The subject here is a literal interpretation. While the word "reactionary" is MOST OFTEN used to mean "ultraconservative in politics", that is not the strict meaning of the word. It is a connotative meaning rather than a denotative one. A better example is that it's like saying the NRA is a politically liberal organization because it is about expanding personal freedom and liberty. You'd say that I was misusing the term "liberal", but I would disagree wholeheartedly. > Not that it matters; I only mentioned it because nitpicking other > people's writing is one of the few pleasures left to me in my old age. We've all got our hobbies. On Mon, 26 Feb 2001, Jeff Dwarf wrote: > true. but remember, raping the language, especially as it relates to > politics, is one of primary pleasures of the right. Please! Raping the language is the primary pleasure of polticians in general. Words, as I have attempted to demonstrate above, take on strange meanings when spoken with regard to formalized belief systems and political parties. Essentially, it comes down to the fact that people like broad labels. There are those that like to use them and apply them to others all over the place, taking a word that describes one or even most of a person's beliefs and painting all of their beliefs with that word. There are others that wear those broadly applied terms with pride and will not accept that their views are not in line with the label. The best example of the former, for me, is the people I met in line while waiting to protest Al Gore's appearance in Portland. These people were Gore supporters and Democrats. They were appalled at the idea of being called Republican or Right-Wing or Conservative. Yet when they spoke, they said things like "You've got to balance the environmental concerns with business concerns... people need jobs... the economy depends on a certain amount of sacrifice." and "The last eight years have been great. I'm making a LOT more money than I was eight years ago." and "We've got to make sure children are safe... even if that means giving up some privacy." and "We can't just let anybody who wants to run become president!" and on and on. Strip the labels off of these people and they're no different from their "enemy"... they will fight each other tooth and nail under their banners without ever hearing what the other has to say. (And, man oh man, remember Clinton's "If you want to live like a Republican, vote for a Democrat!") What I'm saying is that "both" sides are extremely guilty of misusing language to their own perceived advantage. > you know, affirmative action is racism, blah blah blah. There are two senses to the word. There is the first sense which is a belief that race is the primary determining factor of human traits and capacities and, furthoremore, that it is possible that those differences show a clear superiority of a particular race. Surely Affirmative Action is not a system that EXPLICITLY assigns non-racial traits to folks based on their race nor does it EXPLICITLY use race to judge value. But make no mistake, Affirmative Action IS racism. There is a second sense of the word that is racial prejudice or discrimination. Affirmative Action is an institutionalized way of sorting out folks based on race and treating people differently based on their race. No shit. Exactamundo. That is, by definition and in EVERY sense of the word, discrimination. When the word "discrimination" is used in the intransitive sense, when one says something like "discriminating against", it means that you're using something OTHER THAN individual merit to make a decision. That is what Affirmative Action does. And guess what? I'm not saying anything BAD about Affirmative Action! Just because it's very clearly a racist policy doesn't mean we all have to believe that it has to STOP today. This is exactly what I was trying to relate in the above. There are people that are so afraid to be in support of something that is racist, they will deny that the things they do support is racist against all available evidence. They don't like the label... it has bad connotations for them... so they'll lie to themselves and try to twist the language to avoid having to apply the label to something they support. I call bullshit on that.

I agree; it's high time there were meaningful negotiations between the two sides on the whole Geddy Lee issue. If these factions, which have been at each other's throats for som many generations, can come together in a spirit of can-do compromise and bipartisanship, maybe there's hope for civilization after all. But of course, before there can be any progress at the negotiating table, the anti-Geddy faction will have to give up on their longstanding policy of refusing to withdraw their forces from the Occupied Territories of northern Wisconsin, eastern Missouri, and Devonshire in the UK. Meanwhile, the pro-Geddy side MUST end the violence! These Geddy negotiations simply cannot take place in the current unstable, turbulent atmosphere. To wit, I propose that the armed wing of the G.R.A. (Geddy's Ridiculously-High-Pitched-Voice Army) submit to the following conditions: 1) Cease and desist from armed raids into disputed areas of Los Angeles, Chicago, and Des Moines, IA 2) Turn over all biological and chemical weapons to the proper authorities 3) Try singing at *least* 2 octaves lower during the choruses 4) Nose jobs all around! In exchange for these considerations, the RDDD (Rush Die Die Die) forces will agree to restore royalties that were withheld from the last three albums.
