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. |

And you call yourself a prog fan. Suffice it to say that the lyrics are terrible, despite what Snow Dog and others would have you believe. |

The first thing we need to do is stopping this b*t of "right = liberal = employers" and "left = socialist = employees".
This cliche thinking is causing much harm to modern society, it may have have some sense in the early 20th century but we should be past it by now.

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. ![]() |

I'm an employee myself, but I have learnt to be more than wary about those cliches.

As a red-blooded American, I'm contractually obligated to hate the French, but I love Victor Hugo, Baudelaire, Hector Berlioz and Erik Satie. So respect there. |

Stalin wasn't stallin'
when he told the beast of Berlin that they'd never rest contented till they had driven him from the land So he called the Yanks and English and proceeded to extinguish the Fuhrer and its vermin this is how it all began Now, the Devil, he was reading in the Good Book one day how that Lord created Adam to walk the righteous way and it made the Devil jealous he turned green up to his horns and he swore by things unholy and he made one of his own So he packed two suitcases full of greed and misery and he caught the Midnight Special going down to Germany then he mixed his lies and hatred with fire and brimstone then the Devil sat upon it that's how Adolf was born Now Adolf got the notion that he was the master race and he swore he'd bring New Order and put mankind in its place ! So he set a scheme in motion and was winning everywhere until he up and got the notion for to kick that Russian bear Stalin wasn't stallin' when he told the Beast of Berlin that they'd never rest contented till they had driven him from the land So he called the Yanks and English and proceeded to extinguish the Fuhrer and its vermin this is how it all began |

Some people say you are out of touch. Really right = liberal = employers and left = socialist = employees, that makes no sense except to the delusional.

I am a liberal with leftist sympathies, but i detest communism "where some people are more equal than others"
I guess you could call me a democratic socialist. |

What about our plutocracy, where some people are more equal than other? I ID with democratic socialist. Capitalism is a good system when it is well regulated.
