Could Communism be Called "Progressive?"

[enigma2517]

What do you think?

Is communism a "progressive movement"?

Does that label us reformists?

[Black Dagger]

communism is a progressive movement, it's about changing society- moving forward, looking to the future etc. This is opposed to a regressive or conservative/reactionary movement who seek to maintain the status quo or even regress society to a previous 'golden age'.
Saying that communists are progressive does not imply that they are reformists, unless perhaps you used a capital 'p'- which could be mistaken for a reference to a reformist political party or something :P The Progressives.

So yes, we are in a progressive movement, as we are most certainly not regressive or reactionary!
