I'm not calling the liberals socialists. I'm calling the socialists socialists. Members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus can be called nothing else. (Love the logo, don't you?)

The Progressive Caucus was originally linked as a subpage to the Democratic Socialists of America website until that became a bit embarrassing a few years back. The link itself is gone now, but copies of the DSA pages can still be found here and there where other sites archived it.

One of the greatest weapons the Left has is pretending that Leftism is imaginary, or the product of right-wing paranoia. Even bringing up the word "communism" will get you hooted out of many conversations now.

I wonder what exactly is "redbaiting?" Do you even know what your own buzzwords mean?
