New 1962 does not change thje argument.

New Share your pain - it's not a hopeful prospect.
The forces of Commerce and Corp-managed politics will kill any word as suits a purpose of dissembling for power - cf

Compassionate Conservative - a phrase whose invention.. indicated a need for the claim of a new sensibility: its image natch, not any actual change. Let's not even peek at patriotism as automatic support even for Idiots.

(and of course, by now: virtually every other label for formerly ~ recognizable political attitudes including even what "Left' or 'Right' might mean - in '03)

Alas too, as early as '60s I recall seeing in the Mother Country of (Our) Language - a double-decker bus at Oxford Circus, with a {ugh} Advert on its side:

Drinka
Pinta
Milka
Day

..shades of Dorothy L. Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey mystery at the Ad Agency, Murder Must Advertise.
