However they are no longer "liberals" now they are "progressives" an old stalinist code word for communist.

There's a nuclear material reprocessing centre here in England, it started out called Windscale then there was an accident (nothing serious, I hasten to add), so they called it Sellafield, that got a bad reputation, now they call it Thorp. The anarcho-leftists are just the same, they keep changing the name in an attempt to pull the wool over people's eyes.

They did, however, make a big mistake with 'The Third Way', that term was originally coined by Oswald Moseley, who founded the 'British Union of Fascists' (which was our equivalent of the Italian Fascists and German Nazis in the 1930s), was a great fan of Hitler and Musollini, and was imprisoned throughout the Second World War.

Interesting, Juan Peron also coined the third way during his days in power. He described it as in between capitalism and socialism. His speeches from 1945 onward are peppered with the term. He was also a founder of the non-aligned movement which played a large part in the politics of the 60's and 70's. During this time shcolars in political theory were talking about and coming up with thoeires of "convergence", wereas the capitalist west and communists states were evolving towards each other to create some kind of hybrid that would be socialist and democratic. All crap of course, but it still has a lot of believers out there.
