Talk:Corbynization

As the person who first posted the word Corbynization, I should like to say that the term Progressive is better than Socialist in the context of describing political alignments pertinent to the word, as the term Corbynization is often applied to the American Democrat Party, which is Progressive but NOT Socialist.

This is tagged as “(UK politics)”, but all of the quotations are about US politics. Indeed, I've never heard the term used in a UK context, and if it were used in the UK, an “-ise” spelling would be more likely. N4m3 (talk) 19:15, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

@N4m3: Don't automatically assume the UK -ise. Our best-known national dictionary is the OED (Oxford English Dictionary) which generally uses the z form, as more historically legitimate. The z form is also in my personal experience more common: I've seen many terms where z is attestable from actual books/journals and s is not. That aside: are the citations actually about US politics? I think you have a point. This is a general political term that may be used about any kind of (I suppose) traditional labour socialism. So I'm going to change it from UK-politics to just politics.
