The Progressive Movement is not socialist!
Progressism
In general Progressivism stands most truly at the opposite pole from economic elitism, and has enjoyed its greatest support and successes precisely when the injustice, exploitation, arrogance, and greed of economic elites become intolerable — to both liberals and conservatives alike.
You need to learn about your history.

Adolf Hitler was a Fascist though. Much different then a Communist or a Socialist. Both groups hate one another.

I can't wait until Oct. 30th for the rally to restore sanity, you'll see our numbers compared to the capitalist rally to protect corporate wealth and realize you don't have a chance at getting republicans back in control.
I'm so close to becoming an ex-patriot because of the sheer stupidity that is mounting here in America, I don't want to be associated with you people when I say I'm an American.

You can't convince the Tea Partiers. They have their mind sets by Glenn Beck and the rest of Fox News. There is no hope for these people...... But they are fun making fun of,

Different in economic theory.
Precisely the SAME in political practice..
This is where both sides get you - they try to cover up and hide the centralization of power. Doesn't matter if that's done on the right or the left - the end results are the same. Meanwhile, folks are bickering back and forth over economic theory while political reality is sneaking up behind them.
RINO's = Neocons = what the folks on the left are trying desperately to pass off as "Republicans"(but which are decidedly NOT) >>> all trying to grow government, and centralize power. We call these people "fascists" when we are being honest with ourselves.
DINOs = Progressives = what folks on the right are trying to pass off as "Democrats" (but which are decidedly NOT) >>> All trying to grow government, and centralize power. We call these people "communists" when we are being honest with ourselves.
Two opposite ends of the political spectrum, yet BOTH have the same goal of growing government, centralizing power, and leading us into a deeper level of slavery. I have to ask, what's the REAL difference here? Just what we call them? How does that differ to the folks in the gulags and concentration camps? Is the only difference the name you want to hang on the evil that IS?
