Newly re-elected Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is now claiming that his government is a symbol for what he is calling "progressive patriotism".
I will now compare some claims made for this way of thinking with the reality of Socialist Left governments.
“Albanese begins second term with a new slogan.” Albanese and his party, the ALP, are much better at sloganising than they are at governing.
"Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is pledging to strengthen Australia with a second-term agenda that eases division ......." Albanese won the recent election with a brilliantly effective but viciously unfair negative campaign against his conservative opponent, former police detective, Peter Dutton.
“Mr Albanese introduced the idea of “progressive patriotism” as a new catchcry for his plans to build on Labor reforms in housing, Medicare and childcare to help grow the economy.” Previous Labor “reforms” under Paul Keating in housing have been a key factor in pushing up the price of buying a home for young people and enriching speculators. Labor spending on medicare and childcare will not strengthen the economy if the spending creates unsustainable debt. Creating such debt is not the act of a patriot.
“We spoke about doing things the Australian way, not looking towards any other method or ideology from overseas.” The Australian way is a delicate balance between what is local and unique and the glories of being a part of western civilisation. But Socialist Left Leader Albanese does in practice have far too much Marxist ideology for my liking in how he and his party colleagues govern. As the above picture shows the PM cannot relax when face to face in America with ideas from a Republican leader like Speaker Mike Johnson.

An oxymoron if there ever was one.
Hmm. I see “Progressive Patriot” as being exactly the same as “Nationalist Socialist” = “Nationalsozialismus” = Nazi.
The leftists always seem to think that using different words with the same meaning are going to fool everyone.
What is a “Progressive Patriot”?

Easy peasy
An oxymoron for morons .
Will pinko commie work for ya?
Liberals are loyal to liberalism, nobody and nothing else.
It’s a commie. Commies are super committed to the state.
“Will pinko commie work for ya?”
It will definitely work for me as a Freeper.
But will it get more votes against The Left at election time?
Or scare some voters away?

Most likely, NOT.
