Neologism spotted multiple places lately. Notably in a manifesto published in The Guardian today, Our new international movement will fight rising fascism and globalists by Yanis Varoufakis, briefly Greek Finance Minister. I recently read his book about the experience of going up against the forces of financialised capitalism--the IMF, the European Central Bank, The Fed, and the rest of the vultures who wield a weaponized capitalism to loot the most vulnerable countries. Yanis's essay today is published alongside a parallel proclamation from Bernie Sanders--we are socialists, hear us roar! But seriously, the pairing of Yanis and Bernie is significant, because Yanis has risen to the top ranks of the new European Socialists since they forced him out of the Ministry. Kind of a Socialist NATO...they really are proclaiming an "International(e)".
Another line going through my head was written by Japanese Admiral Yamamoto in his diary, after the attack on Pearl Harbor: "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."
Hear us roar.
