What's in a Label? The Media's Word Game with Politics

Some politicians, like Zohran Mamdani, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and others, are often called progressives. But what do they really stand for?

Their ideas are more like those of communists, not progressives. They want a system where the government controls everything, like in Russia or China. This is the opposite of capitalism, which is based on individual freedom and choice.

The Media's Role in Mislabeling

The media has a habit of calling these politicians progressives. Why? Maybe it's because the word communist has a bad reputation. It's easier to say progressive.

But words matter. If someone acts like a communist, walks like a communist, and talks like a communist, shouldn't we call them a communist?

Capitalism vs. Communism

Capitalism is the foundation of this country. It's about individualism, about people making their own choices. But the media doesn't seem to like that. They prefer to use softer words for ideas that are actually quite extreme.

Time for Honesty

It's time to be honest. If these politicians want a communist system, let's call them communists. No more hiding behind labels that don't fit. The media should stop playing word games and start telling it like it is.
