    Yes, but, the article is of the Democratic Socialists of America. Then it shifts to US progressives. During the Cold War, the movement of international socialism generally includes communists.

    Wrong, that's successful Communist Socialism. That's what happens when they're in power.

    They are not Communists. No clue why people confuse those two.

    Agree, not only him, vast majority of wingers are totally clueless as to what socialism is, all they did was take the evil Commie tag of the last Century and replace with socialist today, they are just the product of their information sources

    Wrong. It wasn't Karl Marx's Communism. Nor is it socialism.

    Is there another kind of commie tag? Socialism sucks just as much this century as last. Progressivism is arguably much worse now, since it has abandoned patriotism as a virtue.

    It was the most widespread and longest lasting Socialist government to date.

    Therefore it isn't socialism.

    Marx's Communism has never worked, ever. He never worked, ever. See how that goes?

    You expect a man that has never worked ary a day in his life to know what's good for all workers and entire countries?

    That's fucking insane!

    Friendly reminder from The Nation, of all places. These worthless piles of trash haven't changed at all since the Cold War. They still want to maintain that united front, and cowtow to Moscow Beijing, because, overthinking liberal democracy at all costs is still the endgame. Totalitarianism (mislabeled authoritarianism in the article) marches on to the beat of Earth's lowest inhabitants.
    I kind of like them, Gin.
    I'm one of them in fact.

    I do miss the People's World daily newspaper, I have to admit.
    We don't have great journalism anymore.
    But somewhere in a government dossier, there's a note that I once had a subscription.
    Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Samuel Johnson, 1775
    Religion....is the opiate of the people. Karl Marx, 1848
    Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose. Kris Kristofferson, 1969
