i like this one:
The word ‘Fascism’ is almost entirely meaningless. In conversation, of course, it is used even more wildly than in print. I have heard it applied to farmers, shopkeepers, Social Credit, Corporal punishment, fox hunting, bull fighting, the 1922 committee, the 1941 Committee, Kipling, Gandhi, Chang Kai shek, homosexuality, Priestley’s broadcasts, Youth Hostels, Astrology, women, dogs and I do not know what else... almost any English person would accept ‘bully’ as a synonym for ‘Fascist.’
–George Orwell, What is Fascism?, 1944
