I fully agree, on everything.
I can not stress enough the importance of the language. The descent of Argentina into socialism started when the first socialist leader, Perón, stopped calling himself a "socialist" and instead used the word "justicialist", for socialism correctly had a bad connotation within the population, but people fully ignored what it was about, so when they received the exact same with a different name, they fully embraced it.
Here's a video where Perón explains the stunt himself:
(I couldn't find one subtitled, sorry)
I fully endorse the post, the subjects are as important as it stresses.
On the bright side, here in Argentina "liberal" still means liberal as in "libertarian", so we call ourselves "liberals", but only use the therm "libertarian" when speaking in english.
Mucho Gracias!
