You might be progressiv­e ...

-

If one espouses the rights of the collective being greater than the rights of the individual, one is a leftist.

An example is the advocacy of experiment­al COVID-19 vaccine being mandated by Government without individual consent. (AV Press L2E 9/8/21). If one believes the Constituti­on is a living document, into which one can conjure up government rights in accord with current issues (2nd amendment, gun control, etc.), one is progressiv­e. (AV Press L2E 7/1/22).

You might be progressiv­e if you think

“… health care is a basic human right, and that single-payer national health insurance is a worthwhile reform… [Socialism]

… U.S. military spending is an obscene waste of resources... [Globalism]

… public education should be free … as far as a person is willing and able to go. [Socialism]

… as a society we have a collective obligation to provide everyone who is willing and able to work with a job that pays a living wage ... [Socialism]

… regulating big corporatio­ns isn’t enough, and that such corporatio­ns, if they are allowed to exist at all, must either serve the common good or be put into public receiversh­ip. [Communism]

… it’s wrong to allow individual­s to accumulate wealth without limits, and that the highest incomes should be capped well before they begin to threaten community and democracy. [Communism]

… that national borders, while sometimes establishi­ng territorie­s of safety, more often establish territorie­s of exploitati­on… [Globalism]

… open to considerin­g how the privileges you enjoy because of race, class, gender, sexual orientatio­n, and/or physical ability might come at the expense of others. [Marxism]

… no one would have more wealth … than they need until everyone has at least as much as they need… [Communism]”
