RE: Why it is important to protect words from redefinition...

Orwell, George. 1974. “Politics and the English Language.” In Propaganda, edited by Robert Jackall, 423–37. London: Palgrave Macmillan UK. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-349-23769-2_19.
I think that you can find this article on the web elsewhere, if it hasn't been memory holed, but the article is very close to your own thoughts on the matter. Orwell, of course as an ex-leftist, had a close view of the base dishonesty of leftist linguistics.
ESR had a detailed explanation of the Kafka-trap technique used by the left, as well as a description of the "moa-and-baily" type of "debte" they use. I can't find atm, but ESR has a lot of interesting reading at http://esr.ibiblio.org/
