    Just like there is no difference between "progressive" and Communist.
    IT'S JUST BORIS!

    Really? Can you provide some citations to reputable sources that make that claim?

    No need, just look at their platform and see how it lines up perfectly with the Communist manifesto. It is the Left's goal of total State takeover of the entire private sector.

    What Progressive Party?

    Here's the tail end, and I do mean, end of it's history:

    ...1918[edit]
    All the remaining "Progressives" in Congress rejoined the Republican Party, except Martin, who became a Democrat. No candidates ran as Progressives for governor, Senator, or Representative.

    Later years[edit]
    From 1916 to 1932 the Taft wing controlled the Republican Party and refused to nominate any prominent 1912 Progressives to the Republican national ticket. Finally, Frank Knox was nominated for Vice President in 1936.

    The relative domination of the Republican Party by conservatives left many former Progressives with no real affiliation till the 1930s, when most joined the New Deal Democratic Party coalition of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

    Robert M. La Follette, Sr. broke bitterly with Roosevelt in 1912, and ran for President on his own ticket, the 1924 Progressive Party, in 1924.

    Oh.

    I guess you could post them side by side and make the connection, right?

    that would require him to have actually read and understood either of them.

    Progressives think it takes a village, Liberals think it takes a few good men to help the village.
