The objection is not to "strong political terms"; the objection is to incorrect terms which obscure rather than reveal the real horrors of capitalism. Charles's insistence on the word "fascism" is actually, though I have never found the way to make this clear to him, a _cover-up_ of capitalism. The slovenly use of the term "fascism" amounts to almost deliberate blindness to how horrible and repressive even the _best_ capitalism is.
