Thaksinism

Recent surge of social unrest in Thailand makes me wonder what is this bug "Thaksinism" about and why it drives people to be unhappy and unrestful?

The connotation seems not bad from an outsider's point of view because it could mean "patriotic", "power", "wealth" or simply "inspiration". But it could also mean "struggle", "uprising", "bring down" or a bit sporty "take down".

Lately the term paints some colors and it resembles to "red shirt", that makes it more like a sporting jersey.

The term is still in infancy to undergo a review board before it can be added to the dictionary.

Nah! I am just playing with words, just ignore my wit!
