A look at the growing Marxist movement in New York City. Even though they read Marx and Stalin, organize protests against Israel and play a board game that equates capitalism with barbarism, they shy away from calling themselves “socialist”. As one member puts it, “It’s more positive to say progressive or left.”

The Left continues in the grand tradition of labeling themselves in positive and deceptive terms.

I thought they had solved this with the “No Labels” thingy.

Leftists have to constantly relabel themselves because their ideology is repugnant to decent people.

Useful information becomes associated with any label that they choose, be it the Wilson era “progressive” who was a Nazi sympathizer, a 60’s - 90’s “liberal” who is a socialist, or a 2000+ “progressive” [again] who is an avowed racist/Marxist.

This information is useful is determining who the people DON’T want in power, so the left has to constantly re-label to destroy the information.

Ask them straight out why they have to lie to implement their policies

While you are at it ask them why socialists always feel it is acceptable to kill millions of people who dont want socialism

Apparently the death penalty is good for babies AND those who disagree with them politically, but not for murderers

I call it gangrene, and in need of amputation.

Perverts=Gays.

Atheists=Brights.

Theiving Marxists=Progressives.

ANYTHING which doesn’t march lockstep with cultural relativism dogma = Racist

Politically incorrect = Hateful

The Left has controlled the language, which means the ground rules of the war, for FAR too long.....

And the corollary:

The easiest way to defeat a “liberal” argument is to make the “liberal” define the terms he’s using.

Oh, and a word of warning folks, if you watch the video, you’ll want to puke. The ‘Reporter’ doesn’t ask on of the oppressives (Marxists, Communists, Nat. Socialists, etc.) Why they’re moronic ideology has never worked.

“Progress” towards the cliff is not progress at all.

Progresivism needs to ask itself, “how far is far enough”, and “when will it ever end”.

They are the dog that has caught it’s own tail and is happily consuming it’s own rear end without realizing it....

Progressives won’t ever be introspective,
because the objective is not to implement a system that “works”,

the objective is for the “progressive” individual to be able to affirm that he’s “a good person”.

Again, to completely wipe out any argument they have - make them define their terms.

Thank you.

I used that web-site as a convenient jumping off point, but direct access can be better.

I say we call them "Pregressives."

They're all a bunch of preverts, anyway.

They are monsters - killers without conscience. They have a history and their ideas have a pedigree.

This reflects my own opinion regarding "progressives": Why I Despise Progressives

For example:

Under what scenario do you consider it an acceptable “Choice” to torture and murder a baby in his mother’s womb?

“It’s more positive to say progressive or left.”

It's more accurate to say marxist.

The Nazis were all about human "progress", too. Zyklon-B showers and crematoria were simply considered part of the effort. And what was more "progressive" than Mao's Cultural Revolution - let a thousand flowers bloom! And they did - over mass graves largely unreported in the cheerleading Western press.

Of course, that can't happen here - our Progressives have much more humane intentions, as demonstrated by their plan to force seniors into end-of-life counseling by regulatory fiat. It's voluntary, you know.

If you run across a useful idiot singing the praises of “Progressivism”, point out to them that the Progressive movement of a century ago gave us Income Tax and Prohibition.
