Communists & Progressives: One In The Same

From NoisyRoom.net aka the progressive hunter:
Rick Nagin is a leader of the Communist Party USA in Ohio.
Like many communists, Nagin is also a Democrat, almost succeeding in securing a Cleveland City Council seat running as a Democrat in 2009.
Rick Nagin has a history with Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich. He served as Kucinich’s Labor Coordinator in the 2008 primary and in return Kucinich endorsed Nagin during his 2009 Council run.

In 2008 Rick Nagin was a full-time volunteer in the AFL-CIO Labor 2008 campaign for Barack Obama.
In the latest Peoples World, Rick Nagin impresses on his fellow communists the vital importance of defeating the Republicans in November’s mid-term elections:
Defeating the Republicans in November must be the top priority for all progressives. The pundits tell us incessantly that Democrats will lose seats and possibly control of Congress because usually (but not always) this is what happens to the party in power in mid-term elections. The Republicans hope this narrative will help demoralize Democratic voters, but their main message is that President Obama and the Democrats are responsible for the unrelenting economic crisis.
