[Begin excerpt]
In a recent and excellent exchange between Laurie Penny and Richard
Seymour on the case of Russell Brand, I was pleased to see them use
the word "brocialist" in their discussion. Pleased in part because, at
least to the best of my knowledge, I'm the first person to ever use
the word.

Brocialist came about some two years ago in one of my many arguments
on Reddit forums, a noted Internet hive of sexism and misogyny. The
word "manarchist" was becoming popular as a means to describe and call
out the prevalence of sexists within the anarchist community, and I
felt that there was a need for an equivalent epithet for the socialist
movement. So "brocialist" and "brocialism" was what I came up with.
