Most “progressives” are dilettantes, sip coffee, debate ideas, and wish people like Trump would go away while they drive their BMW home.
Marxists are waiting for the revolution to start, they intend to kill you (and any insufficiently enthusiastic progressives) and/or take your stuff.
While we have a distressing number of progressives in this country, the number of Marxists is fairly low, and conservatives outnumber them and are better armed.
I think that may be one of the best explanations of the difference between a progressive (IE Socialist) and a Marxist I have ever read. Definate +1.
I hear ya, but for my money, there isn’t enough difference between progressives and Marxists to fill a thimble.
If the Marxists sounded the call to begin shooting Deplorables, their progressive boot lickers would start pulling triggers.
