Socialists in america need to reject the term progressive. It's used in order to claim socialists as their own, as "progressive liberals" instead of as what they really are, opposition to liberals. The whole "progressive" thing is used to erase socialists and keep it buried enough that people do not become politically educated about the differences.

When you call yourself a communist you will need yo justify it,.which should be easy but it gives you at least the chance to state your point. If you call yourself a socialist people will just think radlib
