I’ve recently been made aware of a strange new tribe who refer to themselves collectively—they do everything collectively—as “progressives.” I think they used to call themselves “liberals” until it became clear that they don’t care much for liberty. Males and females in this tribe both tend to wear beards and gather in urban coastal areas, where they pay too much for apartments, water, coffee, and bean sprouts.
They speak a strange and exotic tongue unfamiliar to my ears. But they repeat certain terms so frequently, I feel as if I’ve begun to get a handle on what they’re driving at. To the best of my ability, I will try to decipher what these buzzwords mean.
ACTIVIST—A person who isn’t actively performing activities at an actual job. ANTI-RACIST—A person who makes everything about race. (continued at link)

They left out communist...
Communist - A person who is “liberal, progressive and activist.” It is unknown why they will not, in most instances, refer to themselves by the more accurate and simplified term “communist.”
To go along with that, they also left out McCarthyism ...
The process of exposing communists.
“How do you tell a communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin.
And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.”
Ronald Reagan -
“Progressive” is the term Communists adopted back in the 1930’s to hide their real agenda. They still are hiding behind that mask.
Yup, and now they are embracing ‘The Curse of Obamanation.”
