What do you think about embracing the controversy embedded within the term as a means of educating people around its underlying principles, getting people talking/thinking about it, etc?
I'm afraid the term makes many people stop thinking. They hear Karma is socialist and conclude that it's bad. Ideally, you would tell people Karma is socialist only after they have evaluated it.
On the other hand, even the most faithful anti-socialist should recognize that you aren't building a totalitarian dictatorship here. So it may make them think after all.
Hey anoncake ~ just wanted to thank you for planting this seed. You and a few other members had the same ideas, and they're manifesting into a lower-friction articulation of what this thing is all about: https://www.karma.fm/p/S09A4/dialing-down-the-socialism-and-...

No. Eliminating the ideology is never possible. If you try, you implicitly support the dominant one. Avoiding the term is a good idea though.
