Everyone’s a ‘Commie’ Now | How Ideology Became a Social Media Slur | Outlook India | Deep Dive

Political labels today travel faster than their meanings.

“Communist.” “Socialist.” “Feminist.”
Once rooted in distinct political traditions and social struggles, these ideologies are now casually deployed on social media as insults—often used to brand dissent as “radical” or “anti-national.”

In this Deep Dive, we examine how popular culture, digital outrage, and contemporary politics have diluted the meaning of ideology. Drawing from Guru Dutt’s Pyaasa, global debates around figures like Zohran Mamdani, and India’s evolving political discourse, the video shows how ideological labels have become tools to silence activism, policy critique, and demands for equality.

This Outlook India video reframes communism, socialism, and feminism not as internet caricatures, but as practical engagements with justice, rights, and lived realities—and asks why political language today favours name-calling over nuance.

👉 Watch, question, and rethink what ideology really means.
