Read some Marx and you'll understand that political action doesn't start, and end, at the ballot box.

Marx? The guy that advocates for waiting until society collapses and then waiting for a better society to be built from its ashes?

Literally not what he says, though.

Lol way to show you know nothing about your own ideology, buddy.

Progressivism: Progressive liberalism is a response to marxism, (radical) socialism, and communism. It was a recognition that the problems marxists, (radical) socialists, and communists were bringing to the forefront were proper problems, but it contests that marxists, socialists, and communists have the correct solutions. For that matter, progressive liberalism is anti-marxist, anti-socialist, and anti-communist.

Progressive liberals hope to “save capitalism from itself” not abolish it unlike genuine marxists, socialists, and communists wish to do.
