Reply #21: Their platform is ideal

[Radio_Guy]

The problem is the Communist label is very offensive to many and would never work. That is why I love the term Progressive. Because anyone who is against a livable minimum wage, against funding education, for tax cuts for the rich, for an unnecessarily large military, for the death penalty and racial profiling and spying on Americans, etc. are not progressives but very regressive.

If someone would run on a communist/socialist platform without the totalitarianism Russia had, I would vote for him or her in a heartbeat. When done right, it beats capitalism hands down.
