I go not by "what they say about themselves", but the actual power structure.

You imagine there is something fundamentally different about entitling oneself to steal and kill en masse for "the volk", or "the proletariat", or the "underserved".

There isn't. Hitler and Stalin are the same guy in different clothes, and they are what socialism always trends toward.

"What's the difference between socialism and communism and Naziism? Well, how much have I gotten away with so far?"

No idea, but they apparently have some Republican ideas, so I'm going full guilt-by-association.

Probably works on Democrats, too. Guessing a search for "Quaalude & Democrat" will give a roster including Ley lines or chakra crystals or somesuch, free to choose from. Facebook has the full rhetorical buffet at your fingertips.

So, you are agreeing it's arbitrary, while saying it isn't.

Don't feel bad, you're not the first person to be disconcerted when having thought they are standing on bedrock "proven scientific fact", they find they are standing on airy nothing.

What a species is, is a philosophical question, not one of science, much less of "fact". The suggested Wikipedia entry as the top hit for "Species Problem" will elaborate as extensively as you could desire.

Categorical conventions are not "true", they are "useful". Common error.
