You don't think whether you are using the words correctly is relevant to the discussion? I disagree. Suppose you are using them incorrectly; this will create huge problems for the discussion.

My comments were relevant to the subject in that they were on the topic of whether the relationship between certain subjects was understood.

Still, perhaps it could be argued that I was not "in the discussion" as much as "dipping my toes into the discussion" and, upon feeling the water in the pool, changing my mind about jumping in. I'm not sure where our current meta-discussion (if that's the term, or even A term) fits into the analogy.

 

Now this is getting silly.

The only reason I started this little side talk is because you started with:

“Without conceding anything, particularly in regard to your view of what is or isn't socialistic or communistic etc”

You have not in this thread made an argument about what those terms mean, or how you feel about what I think those terms mean. All you did is question if I applied the correct logic to Wikipedia's definition (A in a subset of B, thus anything A is B). I explained how I did, and you went on this weird tangent.
