Whether branding themselves as liberals progressives Democrats or socialists: all stand for communism/caption

I was not aware of any Communists at Fort Roach* although there were several gentleman of the extreme left … who called themselves progressives a term I subsequently learned was the Partys code word for true believers." Edmund Morris Pulitzer Prize winner and author of Dutch: A Memoir of Ronald Reagan"
*The First Motion Picture Unit of the U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF) during World War II (installed at the dormant Hal Roach Studios in Culver City California) in the 1940s
As disclosed by biographer Morris the label progressive is leftist code for an adherent of communism. Yet communisms collectivism diametrically opposes American principles embodied by individual liberty. In short such oil and water philosophies dont mix. Whats misleading is the root word of progressive happens to be progress". So its easy to assume that both terms mean the same good something. (After all in this technologically-driven age whos not in favor of advancement?) Yet progressivism is destructive in its practice and backward in its orientation. In reality it fails everywhere its tried. By almost every objective measure (with the anomaly of a flourishing Wall Street) President Obamas progressivism was ruinous for America. Specifically the economic albatross of a record-shattering 9.3 trillion added to the national debt was no accident. Likewise leftist leadership turned oil and diamond rich Venezuela into a hellhole where basic necessities like toilet paper are scarce. Democrats typically use such nebulous good sounding language to conceal their real anti-American intentions. For example their knee-jerk advocacy of investment" in some fashionable cause. Thats just doublespeak for raising taxes and growing government. Such poison pills only undermine our nations solvency and future prospects. For these wastrels its better to rule in a leftist hellpropagated by their political pandering and cultural divisivenessthen serve in heaven as pro-American constitutionalists.
In the same vein political movements with the word Democrat" in them are usually totalitarian: as the Democratic Peoples Republic of (North) Korea. Certainly no lover of civil rights and human freedoms are they. For proof of Kim Jong-Uns liberalism who can forget the tragic fate of American student 22-year-old Otto Warmbier? For the college prank of foolishly attempting to steal a propaganda poster this future ivy leaguer was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor. Fifteen months later he was returned to the United States in a vegetative state. This comathe result of likely tortureled to his premature demise; a young man in full flower cut down. What a waste of potential what a senseless loss of life.
Speaking of destroying life of accused agitators on foreign soil how about Barack Obamas Orwellian-style disposition matrix"? This was the former presidents secret kill list: a database of suspected terrorists to be dispensed with either targeted in drone strikes or captured and interrogated. How is that nihilistic system not equivalent to the barbarity of the Kim regime? In fact some of Mr. Obamas quarry were even American citizens! The horror is that guilt or innocence didnt matter. The accused were deprived of their lives without due process: that means no right to legal representation and a fair trial and no judgment by a jury of ones peers. From on high what a megalomaniac thrill to play God!
Thats not the only similarity between the leadership in North Korea and todays Democrats. Both groups use demonizing rhetoric against their perceived adversaries. Specifically reported by FoxNews.com on March 7th the former instruct their people to call Americans bastards. How is Hillary Clintons repudiation of Trump supporters as a basket of deplorables any less hateful and derogatory? The 2016 presidential election ended over 16 months ago but shes still spewing venomous blame. In India this foul-mouthed feminist icon" smeared the married white women who didnt support her. Outrageously she implied they were mindless chattel: incapable of acting independently of their husbands bosses or sons. So much for this skin-deep champion of women".
With all leftists freedom of thought is vehemently suppressed because it departs from the Partys official position. On every issue under the sun conformity of perception is paramount. What liberals say is right" in this moment can be completely the opposite of what they stood for yesterday. Even writers David Nakamura and Ed OKeefe of the highly partisan Washington Post acknowledged:
In 2006 President George W. Bush signed into law the Secure Fence Act a bill that authorized the construction of hundreds of miles of fencing along the border. That legislation was approved with broad bipartisan support including in the Senate by such Democratic luminaries as Barack Obama (Ill.) Hillary Clinton (N.Y.) Joe Biden (Del.) and Charles E. Schumer (N.Y.) now the Senate minority leader."
In 2018 thats The Donalds border wall. Yet so afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome are they progressives automatically oppose what they previously supportedunder the previous two administrations. As masters of the political flip-flop hypocrisy and self-interest define them (read: Crooked Hillary).
Thus proponents of the leftregardless of their particular stripedemonstrate a jackbooted impulse to dominate others. In common each ruling class controls via a herd mentality. Unchecked the Workers Party of Korea (WPK) can govern by overt force. Meanwhile dissembling Democrats weaponize their words to incite protests. Sometimes these social justice" movements metastasize into mob violence (read: Black Lives Matter). Yet either by force or by fearmongering the left advances its un-American notions. These exploitative elites preach inclusivity while repressing and actively dividing.
These true believers as Hillary and Obama are oblivious to patriotic Americans views or problems. Theyre insulated creatures of the Washington establishment; buoyed by their hard left extremism and access to governmental influence. In truth they care nothing for their fellow citizens freedoms (particularly the Second Amendment) and actively work to subvert them. As a parallel their mindset is epitomized in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith" (2005) when the Republic becomes a dictatorial galactic empire:
So this is how liberty dies… with thunderous applause." Padm Amidala (played by Natalie Portman)
As Democratic" leader Kim Jong-Un is a scourge upon the world stage progressives are a cancer upon the American body politic. Acting and speaking with the same anti-U.S. malevolence is clearregardless of what commonality their fuzzy labels are designed to obscure.
