Any Communist prog fans out there?

I won't say that there a lot of prog fans which are from the right wing.
I would rather say that prog fans happening to have right wing opinions are more likely to brag about it.

For my part, being French (1789, 1848, 1871, 1936, 1981, you see, the kind of things...) and having read or heard about some this Eurocommunist thing from the Italian Communist Party, I can say I have voted for the French Communist Party on several occasions without remorse.

That said, it doesn't mean that I have read the whole works of Marx and Engels (Rosa Luxembourg spotted some mathematical errors in Marx theories) and, above all, I would never sympathise with the politics of the USSR (not even Trostky!), the former Warsaw Pact regimes, China, North Korea or Kampuchea.

And now, let's all celebrate Tito for allowing the Yugoslavian kids to play Rock'n'Roll music even if he send political opponents on the Goli Otok island.

The first thing we need to do is stopping this b*t of "right = liberal = employers" and "left = socialist = employees".

Well, when it comes to prog and life really I almost always hate everything Snow Dog says
Love Beach wins all anyway

Many Americans claim that anyone who is not a Tea Party Republican is by definition a Communist.

Then again, these folks claim that Communism, Socialism, Fascism, Liberalism and Totalitarianism are all synonymous.

Also I have been told they^ are card carrying members of the Communist Party

What do you think of the lyrics to Golf Girl?

But JJ, the words are the most important part!

Yep.  I don't even notice what words they're saying some of the time.

Been at this place for 6 years, and have always been involved in political debates. PA is largely left wing. In fact I'd say near unanimous. Few if any communists but to say a large amount of libertarians? More like 15 man Also libertarian =/= right wing (who's the one eating propaganda?) but that's for a different thread!

Sounds like an interesting read. Workers in the Eastern Bloc who resisted against Stalinism are heroes in my opinion.
