Democratic socialists of America and Progressive Democrats One and the Same
Canada Free Press ^ | 07/22/18 | Judi McLeod

Bernie’s rose emoji should be slapped on the identities of all Progressives

Though they do their cunning best to keep it well hidden from a seemingly unsuspecting electorate, there is no difference between the Democratic Socialists of America (Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, New York City congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) and the plain old, same old Progressive Democrats.

Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez come right out hee-hawing as Karl Marx branded Socialists. Democrats (Sen. Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, et al) hide behind the name “Progressives”.

The Democrats can’t hide their associations with the commies anymore. The question of course will be how well they and their MSM buddies mask this “collusion” and how many idiots out there will keep buying the propaganda and continue drinking the Commiecrat kool-aid!

Progressive Democrats = Democratic Socialists = Socialists = Communists (Communist lite, for now)

The term they’ll use depends on what the voters will accept at the moment. Wake up, old-school Blue Dog Democrats. Your party isn’t the party of Truman and JFK anymore.

American voters must come to realize that a vote for any Democrat is ultimately a vote for open borders, socialism and globalism.

Q: What is the Socialist International?

A: It is the worldwide organization of socialist, social democratic and labor parties. It currently brings together 131 political parties and organizations from all continents. Its origins go back to the early international organizations of the labor movement of the last century.* It has existed in its present form since 1951, when it was re-established at the Frankfurt Congress. They are now headquartered in London, England.

* In 1864, representatives of English and French industrial workers founded the International Workingmen’s Association in London. Karl Marx, who was living in London at the time, became the First International’s dominant figure. Marx’s doctrines were revived in the 20th century by Russian revolutionary Vladimir Ilich Lenin, who developed and applied them – and we all know that what was started as a labor movement ended up as the biggest totalitarian/communist state, i.e., the USSR.

Q: What is the Democratic Socialists of America [DSA]?

A: It is the largest socialist organization in the United States, and the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International. Their website is http://www.dsausa.org/dsa.html

Q: What are seven principles behind what the DSA’s calls it’s “Progressive Challenge?”

Dignified Work
Environmental Justice
Economic Redistribution
Democratic Participation
Community Empowerment
Global Non-Violence
Social Justice.

Never mind their soothing-sounding leftist doublespeak like ‘Environmental Justice’ (whatever that is supposed to mean) or the soft & fuzzy ‘Global Non-Violence’ (a euphemism for unilateral disarmament) — the DSA’s self-declared principle of ‘Economic Redistribution’ clearly shows where these folks are coming from and exactly where they plan to take America.

Q: How many members of the U.S. Congress are also members of the DSA?

A: Seventy!

Q: How many of the DSA members sit on the Judiciary Committee?

A: Eleven: John Conyers [Chairman of the Judiciary Committee], Tammy Baldwin, Jerrold Nadler, Luis Gutierrez, Melvin Watt, Maxine Waters, Hank Johnson, Steve Cohen, Barbara Lee, Robert Wexler, Linda Sanchez [there are 23 Democrats on the Judiciary Committee of which eleven, almost half, are now members of the DSA].

They’re Communists.

They can cycle names all they like but the bottom line is Communism.

They are both one and the same as communist. Let’s just call it by its real name.

So what’s the big deal?

The other team is putting all their cards on the table. Yes to socialism, no to whites.

That’s a good thing. We should help amplify their message every chance we get.

Britannica says; Communism is a political and economic system in which the major productive resources in a society—such as mines, factories, and farms—are owned by the public or the state, and wealth is divided among citizens equally or according to individual need.

Elijah Cummings signs up for this?

Cummings has been in their membership list for a long time. I wrote and asked about it when I first spotted it but got no answer, of courseDEMOCRATS ARE COMMUNISTS AND RUSSIA IS THEIR ALLY.

How can it be legal for Hillary to solicit millions of dollars from the Russian government for the Clinton Foundation and not see the link in selling the US uranium to Russia. WHY IS SHE NOT IN PRISON?

You hardly hear anything from the Communist Party USA. Do they even still exist? The Dems have totally taken their place.

...and wealth is divided among citizens equally or according to individual need.

That's the part of the definition that's a lie. The ruling elite always gets the lion's share.
