Machete Pacifist
The idea that white people are to blame for all the world's wars because the people who fight wars (brown people) buy their weapons from white people. Was the world has a peaceful utopia before the founding of Boeing and General Dynamics? No, if we somehow left our little brown cousins with only spears, they would kill each other with spears. Or in the case of Rwanda, machetes.

Blood Diamond". As if it's the diamonds that are killing people. All these arms embargoes to warzones do is give the advantage to the aggressors, who have been planning and preparing for violence, and therefore arming themselves, from the start. In America, that means Republicans, so I guess I'll stop complaining now.

Someday I will make a guide to leftist code-words, but there's a lot of them so the project is daunting. Here's one that sprung to mind:
Exploitation
The heretical idea that instead of elites deciding for them, women, poor people, and so on are capable of assessing their options for themselves, and making what deals they can.
Examples:
"Sure, they're unemployed and starving, but at least they're not being exploited".
"
Men are giving money to women, and all the women have to do is possess breasts? That's exploitation!" (of women?
)
