I knew about the origin of the word, just didn't match context of his the word is used now, so didn't seem especially relevant.
That last bit is useful and appreciated. I'm just very used to the term carrying a different negative connotation (ie, not related to the bourgeoise), so the framing felt odd without additional context for myself. Ty!
I just noticed a spelling error. I said that dictatorships rule with referendum, whereas they actually rule without referendum. I hope I didn't cause any confusion.
I figured as much. Ty
The context of the way the word is used now is purposely vague and vibes-based. It is functionally useless in political science discussion that way other than 'leader of the designated enemy'.
