What a hoot!  :-)

Communists (= dictatorship of the proleteriat, state ownership of the 
means of production, violent overthrow of the bourgoisie, etc etc) are 
as far to the left of "hard left progressives" as "hard left 
progressives" are to the left of Ollie North.

Most Americans are so thoroughly brainwashed by right-wing propaganda 
that they genuinely *believe* that anything non-conservative is 
basically in the socialist/communist/Trotskyist/Maoist nexus.
