  1. Yes. It matters when words are manipulated for political reasons. If we look at the word inflation itself. It has been manipulated for political reasons. Inflation in "modern" usage means increase in prices. However this is incorrect. It is as correct as saying a bacterial infection is fever. Both are symptoms and not the cause. Inflation is when money is printed making the currency more and more worthless. The increase in prices are caused by the fact you are trying to pay for something that become more and more worthless while still receiving the same product or service that become worth more and more money. A bacterial infection do not cause fever. A fever is the body trying to fight the bacteria. If you tell people that National Socialism was socialistic, they will outright refuse to accept that as true. They will not accept it as they have manipulated the meaning of Socialism to be literally defined as Marxism. Therefor National Socialism can not be socialism as it doesn't follow the teachings of Karl Marx. It also means that they can make the claim that National Socialism belongs to the right wing and capitalism even if there is not a piece of evidence for it.
