@isaacfreeman@cloudisland.nz @pluralistic@mamot.fr I see what you mean. If the term has been in use for a while, it might not be easy to change. “Gutter socialism“? I thought about “street socialism“, which might connote some of the right ideas about meeting day-to-day needs. But I suspect that it sounds too gangsta and would play into the canard that socialists are thugs.
