ML

A Marxist-Leninist, a type of Authoritarian Communism. In political science, Marxism–Leninism was the official state ideology of the Soviet Union (USSR), of the parties of the Communist International after Bolshevisation and it is the ideology of Stalinist political parties. The purpose of Marxism–Leninism is the revolutionary transformation of a capitalist state into a socialist state, by way of two-stage revolution, which is led by a vanguard party of professional revolutionaries, drawn from the proletariat. To realise the two-stage transformation of the state, the vanguard party establishes the dictatorship of the proletariat, which determines policy through democratic centralism.

If you're going to argue that any invocation of a Marxist-Leninist state is going to lead to people like Stalin becoming Strongman and taking power, then, like, that's a pretty fuckin' anti-ML take there.

MLS

1) Major League Soccer, the only professional soccer league in the United States. Founded 1993. See also NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, and if you're feeling generous, WNBA. There are no other definitions for this acronym in popular use in the United States, at least not by anyone older than 15.

2) My Life Sucks. Typically used by whiny teenagers who don't have internet connections or access to Urban Dictionary, or they would know this was replaced by FML years ago... a term which is not only more common, but has its own website, wiki, Urban Dictionary page, and line of t-shirts.

1) Peter: MLS has 16 teams now.
Paul: I don't care.

2) Jack: Hello, I am your boyfriend Jack. My parents grounded me this weekend. ZOMG MLS WTF LOL.
Jill: FML
