Why "Terrorism" Is A Dangerous Word

If you've been keeping up with online news, you may have seen coverage of a Navy anti-terrorism training document that equated socialists and anarchists with neo-nazis. Even if you don't consider yourself a member of the political left, it should be obvious that this is an absurd comparison. In this episode, we're talking about the vague, unhelpful application of the word "terrorism" and what it means for the political left, and the United States as a whole.
