Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) Back in the 1970s, the only big difference between liberals and progressives was that, whereas liberals, such as Hubert Humphrey, supported the military-industrial complex, progressives, such as George McGovern, opposed it. But, now, that difference has become expanded into a vast chasm, in which, whereas liberals support intensification of the […]
Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) The main remaining difference between America’s liberal versus conservative Parties, the Democratic Party versus the Republican Party, is the amount of hypocrisy, the pretenses that the liberals pretend about their being progressive, which they pretend means their supporting minorities and women and gays against the majority and men and straights.

Eric Zuesse, originally posted at Strategic Culture An excellent example of the popular confusion between progressivism and liberalism is an article that was published at Strategic Culture on October 28th by Philip Giraldi, titled “The Disappearing America: Progressives Want a Revolution, Not Just Change”.
