It is not the new term of derision. The derision of socialism was old when FDR was President, it was getting up in years when Teddy Roosevelt was President. The rise has not been rapid. When Hitler used the term National Socialism to define is ultra right wing, utterly anti-socialist government, the term had been made into a boggey man here in the U.S. for more than 60 years. Really, Frances Moore Lappe should crack a history book.
