I think trashing terminology that has become ambiguous is a good thing (which is why I longed for us to come up with a term other than “fundamentalist” to describe the SI crowd).

If you mean poverty, say poverty. If you mean discrimination, say discrimination. If you mean class or race suppression, say it. Then at least we’ll have an idea of what we are talking about.
