Socialist works for me. Communist is more direct.
The commies are tiring of the word "progressive" and trying to say that it is "safe" to come out and proudly be a socialist. They share a lot in common with the communist governments of N. Korea, China, Cuba, and Stalin's USSR.
I'm 19 but I have a lot of curmudgeon tendencies. Can I join?
And this is why I am glad that I picked my college. We have some left-liberalism, but not much. The relations between our university and the rest of the community are strained enough that most of the departments police themselves to keep from getting in trouble. The only time in my 4 years here that a bunch of lefties did a protest, it was YDS beating a paper mache model of a missile with a baseball bat. They got laughed at by everyone, even other leftists who had no idea what they were trying to say. Turns out it was supposed to show the "ludicrous nature of trying to oppose violence with violence."
Since that embarassing episode, YDS has kinda been low profile on campus ;)

My Narcotics Anonymous sponsor is an UberLefty, but he's not obnoxious about it, so he's one of the few Leftys I'd let live if I ever took power.
We try to stay off politics, except for the occasional gentle gibe. Besides, there's more important stuff to do -- like trying to save my life!
Why we hate the left, Exhibit number ... oh, one million or so.
If these people were ever fully repaid for the damage they have done to this country, it would make "McCarthyism" look like a picnic. I look forward to the day ...

It reminds me of the episode of All in The Family, in which everyone tells Meathead that all he can ever talk about to people are liberal activist issues, especially when talking to Lionel Jefferson. Meathead can't take the constructive criticism. He really can't take it when they bring up his superior attitude towards Archie.
Yay! Thank you! :D
Erase That Hate Activists at Ithaca College in New York were upset about the student papers lack of coverage of an anti-racism rally so they did the only sensible thing they stole hundreds of copies of the paper and threw them away.The Ithacan says it covered the Erase the Hate rally in its online edition, publishing some 30 photographs, but the organizers and their minions wanted similar levels of coverage in the print edition.
One professor professor on campus was described as ranting and raving and calling the paper racist for its decision to save a few trees and opt for electronic pandering.
