“‘Forward’ is a progressive buzzword,”
Progressive is a code word for “Communist”.
“Progressive” is actually what the Nazi/Fascist sympathizers during the Wilson era called themselves.
Then, as “progressive” came to be rightly associated with, and just another label for Fascist,
they changed their label to “LIBERAL”.
Now that “liberal” has come to rightly be associated with socialism/fascism/communism (authoritarian collectivism, all),
they’re trying to go back to being “progressives”.
