Shouldn't the West all drop the facade of the term "progressive" and just be direct and call them Communists?

[percysunshine]

The term progressive has reached its limit of dishonesty. Let's be honest, progressive is just another term for communist. I see very little difference in their means to expand power, in their view of the individual or businesses and the governments role in them.

I'm not referring to someone wanting to hold businesses accountable, or even higher tax brackets etc. I'm talking about the level of demand for government centralized spending and control over industries. It's as if too many in the West are really buying into (or just looking at how they can profit from, as thy do in Canada) the CCP "philosophy" as being some superior system.

At the very least, let's drop the progressive mantra. please. It's disingenuous.

Here is a funny little definition of progressivism, which tells us really nothing about it's position, but at least they offered the concept of "progressive education", which is what some are pushing for. I.E, social engineering and communism:

Definition of PROGRESSIVISM

a political philosophy and social reform movement focused on advancing the public good through government action and often calling for government to be used to meet popular social, political, economic, and environmental needs and demands and to advance rights and protections… See the full definition

The Nazis were very progressive.

I'm talking about the level of demand for government centralized spending and control over industries.

Where have progressives demanded the government have control over industries?

Can you provide examples or is this just more hyperbole?

There are plenty of examples, you know.

Like Sleepy Joe's massive restrictions on the oil and gas pipeline business, and his proposed new "Cafe" restrictions on auto manufacturing and other restrictions on America's tremendous Firearms Industry.

Even more than that, here in Pennsylvania, the Radical socialists in Harrisburg want to establish a new state government bureaucracy to control the Grass Business with their stupid "cannabis legalization" scheme.

The stupid "cannabis legalization" scheme in Canada has lead to a 66% reduction in the price of pot. Packaging now has THC and CBD content so you know what you're getting, and the Pink Kush that used to cost me $80 a 1/4 oz. from a sketchy guy in Kensington Market, I can now go into a local store and buy $130 legally for $130 an ounce.

So, it's true?

Progressive = “If you disagree with me you’re racist”

Azog = If you disagree with me, you're an anti-Semite. And FAT!!

Did you or did you not say that Jews invented whining?

I know Jews invented talking. In fact talking is the Jewish national sport, right?



I heard that one from the A&M Jewish Institute rabbi. He had a bunch more.

Trump embraced communist dictators, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un. Now he wants to know who leaked the stories.

Judging from their posts, apparently a good many of Trump's followers are anarchists. What they got with Trump was more government intrusion, not less.

Trump considered the DOJ as his very own law firm consisting of lawyers who worked for him.

Those who voted for Trump thinking he would "drain the swamp" were disappointed. Trump lied. What they got with Trump was more government, not less.

CNN reports, "New revelations suggesting that the Trump administration abused Justice Department powers to target his political enemies underscore just how far the ex-President went to destroy cherished principles of American republican government.

"They show that the true extent of assaults on democracy by Donald Trump are still coming to light and are probably even now not fully known.

"But this is not just a drama about the alleged misbehavior of a former President. Taken together with the Republican Party's refusal to hold Trump accountable. Trump remains the GOP's dominant figure.

"In some of the most chilling exposés yet of Trump's autocratic tendencies, The New York Times late Thursday unveiled a secret scheme by prosecutors against members of Congress conducting presidential oversight.

"In pursuit of leaks of classified information about contacts between Trump associates and Russia, the Justice Department subpoenaed Apple for data from the accounts of Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee, their staff and even their families, including a minor. In a sinister twist to the story, prosecutors also secured a gag order against Apple, preventing it from informing customers their metadata had been seized."

The forum's Republicans along with Republicans in Congress will say nothing about this egregious act. They deal with reality by avoiding it.
