I don't know, a lot people don't know what communism is I suppose. Silly humans.

How the hell did this comment get too many negative votes? It is almost the exact same information I would expect to read in school books, Wikipedia or Encyclopedia articles. Why down vote commonly accepted facts?

You are the stereotypical Fox news veiwer: basically an idiot, but you think you are a genius. To argue that fascism and communism (on opposite sides of the spectrum) are the same, as are socialism, and national socialism, and liberalism shows you have the most basic knowledge of world history. Have you even read the constitution of Nazi Germany? Soviet Russia? Anything by Marx? Lenin? Hayek? Freidman? Keynes? Probably not.

You putting your faith in Kungfu just says it all lol.

Fascism / Communism / State Capitalism / National Socialism / World Socialism / Fabian Socialism / Progs=same exact cloth. i.e - collectivist elimination of individual (aka = MINORITY) rights to life liberty & property.for the "good" of the majority.(aka="the 99%")

They are the whole reason USA's Founding Fathers each gave dire warnings AGAINST Democracy.

But u couldn't know that, could you. You're too busy giving "History" lessons online

"Progressives" who abolished slavery???

U mean Abrahm Lincoln, the founder of the REPUBLICAN Party?

Or do u mean "The Progressives" - i.e. Woodrow Wilson - re-segregated the White House, showed "Birth of a Nation" (glorifying the KKK) as USA's 1st movie, Or FDRoosevelt who put Japanese in camps, slashed Jew immigration & appointed a Klansman to Supreme Court (Hugo Black)? LBJ?

@IexoPeoa mostly what caused the Progressive Party to dissolve shortly after the outbreak of WWII. Also, note to self and others: Don't post comments with your phone. The backspace button is waaay too close to the Go button.

@apope06 And yet, the support of the Progressive (political) Party for Adolf Hitler is a matter of public record, stated in Progressive Party pamphlets and newspapers across the US. This support was mostly what caused the Progressi e

[apope06]

you are comparing apples and oranges my friend. there's a huuge difference between the American Progressives to abolish slavery or the ones in the early 1900s for workers rights like (Fighting Bob La Follette) and fascism. There's a huge difference. The word progressive and hitler doesn't even belong in the same sentence. Hitler was not a progressive-he was a socialist, fascist, dictator. It is preposterous to even make such a claim.

Odd, I thought their support of Adolf Hitler in the 1930s was the downfall of the Progressive movement.
