Not correct.

It is using a word that sounds similar.

 

If I called you a "banker" that would be a malapropism.

No offence intended.

I will not argue Jerzy, thank you for your reply.

But then, my expectation about Americans is not very high these days. 

Don't judge America by the Americans on this forum.  They are not very representative of the general US population.

Fascism and Socialism/Communism and National Socialism are variations on the same theme.

 

Anyone care to take me on? No Wikipedia allowed.

 

You get it.

 

Less freedom and more government control toward totalitarian is Left.

More freedom and less government control toward anarchy is Right.

 

Fascism, communism, Marxism, socialism and Nazism all have some nuanced differences, but they are all immoral, all authoritarian, all oppressive, all totalitarian and all Left.

Have to flip between keyboards. Do you not own a 'phone Lou?

He doesn't.  Otherwise he'd have known that his statement was incorrect.

No...it would not be a malapropism. As a malapropism is supposed to be funny. What would be funny about calling him a banker?

That's just a pigment of your imagination 😊

Never met a flat earther.  

But then, I don’t run in those circles.

 

Do you have experience with them?

 

I remember some videos from a so-called audiophile called Danny. He was promoting weird ideas and products, and he called others flat-earthers because those others didn't understand that he is a genius - at least in his opinion. 

 

Otherwise, I stay away from supporters of the orange one. For that reason, I don't often hear about the flat earth. 😉
