People who call themselves "Socialist" are communists who haven't got the guts to admit they're Communists.
People who call themselves "Communists" are mass-murders who haven't got the guts to admit they're Mass Murders.
There is nothing “progressive” about the same old warmed over leftist philosophies of socialism. It is more accuratley “regressive.” They want us to regress to a time when 30 million people starved to death in the Soviet Union, to a time when 2 million people were slaughtered in the killing fields of Cambodia, to all the horrific effects of the Leftist agenda and all the damage it has done to our world.
Idiot comes to mind.

> ... but has now been adopted as a popular synonym for “socialism.”
No, it was adopted as a cover by commies back in the
1920s, just as reality of the various experiments was
beginning to become a bit too obvious.
Those who presently call themselves “progressive” are
either ignorant of political history, or know full
well and hope the listener is. Frankly, it’s usually
the former, since yer typical collectivist, having
little use for actual truth, is weak on actual history.
Good article. The Left name calls and accuses to stop the argument.....they call you a bigot hoping you won’t speak up about the racism in quotas or the drain Illegals have on this society. They scream that you want to destroy the planet when you want to discuss the inconsistencies of global warming. Shut up the opposition/make victims. Classic socialism.
Lesse - they don’t like being called “socialists” or “liberals.” What term will they crap on after they’re finished with “progressive”?

a progressive is a murdering, lying, thieving communist who wishes not to admit that he is a murdering, lying, thieving communist who will murder, lie and steal at the drop of a hat, if only the population were not allowed to have guns.
Oh, good; an easy question. The answer is "closet communist."
Ouch!
A Nancy boy?
I’m sure we could find thousands of examples of communists referring to their “progressive policies” or the New York Times referring to their various beloved communist dictators’ policies as “progressive”, etc.
Intersperse these written quotes with video of Hillary insisting she’s a “progressive” and it will make a great campaign ad next year.
Right on . My very naive, ill-informed wife figured she must be a Progressive, because the idea of “moving forward” sounded good to her. Honest to God. When I defined the positions of Progressives, she didn’t agree with a single one. BUT SHE STILL LIKED THE NAME, AND THOUGHT OF HERSELF AS ONE.
I will have to spend the remainder of my life explaining to her that the desirablility of moving forward depends on whether you’re pointed at a beer or the wrong part of a cliff.
I’m sure I did something in this life or the last to deserve this fate. Whatever it was, I’m really, really sorry.

It's a smirky, self-flattering way of saying you're a lot better than the rest.That sums it up nicely. Thanks neverdem.
BookmarkedThe word Progressive first became popular in the late 19th century, but has now been adopted as a popular synonym for "socialism." Americans tend not to like socialism, associating it with the Soviet Union and other bad characters. But "Progressivism" sounds fine. So it is a euphemism for something people fear; a cover-up label.
Big Journalism forms its own version of English which is actually a form of Newspeak. In that language, journalists are "objective journalists" - meaning that they toe the comfortable establishment line that second guessing is legitimate because actual performance "in the arena" is in no way superior to journalism's criticism thereof.In that language those who toe the line that journalists' criticism is the important thing, but who themselves are not (presently) employed as journalists, are good guys who are called "liberals," or "progressives," or "moderates." They can have any label they want, except "objective," which is reserved to working journalists and not just those (such as Walter Cronkite) whose attitudes are indistinguishable from those of working journalists.
