It strives to tear down top-down power and message structures. It does away with classes and celebrates the impact of the tiniest voices.

I just don’t understand why folks “more senior� need the idea or the wording to be watered down.

Grin… the wording needs to be watered down because top-down power exists to perpetuate itself, not spread the love.

And–congrats on the gigs! The AP adventure capital project sounds fascinatingly disruptive…

That's part of the point after all -- and jeez, it's a word, and one that doesn't even have to be related to the big ol' evil communism thing. Someday "capitalism" will be seen as just as evil and harmful as communism. Fuck. Anyway, "pinko" means something <a href="http://pinkomarketing.pbwiki.com/The%20Name" rel="nofollow">totally different</a>: "Pinko Marketing is about the commons itself. It celebrates the rise of the 'customer' voice. It strives to tear down top-down power and message structures. It does away with classes and celebrates the impact of the tiniest voices." I just don't understand why folks "more senior" need the idea or the wording to be watered down. It's a forceful, serious idea -- and an important one. Sure, we've all gotta invoices and mortgages to take care of, but a simple word -- if it's that offensive -- man, we've got bigger issues to worry about right now than the word used to describe this method of communing with the commons.
