Via their Garden Speaker Series, NTO brings knowledge to Oakland communities, breaking down how their city is being destroyed, and offering intelligent solutions to counter said destruction
I find it very confusing that are people using the word "progressive" to describe the elite class -- how does that make any sense? There is NOTHING PROGRESSIVE about elite neoliberals!
Most progressives today (I consider myself Progressive) believe in the same platform of the Progressive Party of 1948 -- according to Wikipedia:
"The Progressive party sought racial desegregation, the establishment of a national health insurance system, an expansion of the welfare system, and the nationalization of the energy industry."
In other words, Progressives are against racism, denounce a society where children do not have enough nutritious food to eat or adequate health care coverage, and think our energy bills are too high since we are a captive market for PG&E.
So ... what part of that platform does he disagree with?
Please -- The Elites are NEOLIBERALS, they are *NOT* PROGRESSIVES.
