→Eric Foner political categorization
:Aha, but you see, ''you said'', and I quote, "Although this does not necessarily suggest he is a communist, him being a progressive suggests that the apple likely didn't fall far from the tree." So you deliberately used "progressive" and "communist" as synonymous terms, which fits the framework of progressivism as modern-day leftists define it as opposed to the historical definition which neo-Marxists cower from. The modern concept of "progressivism" with the onset of the New Left (or around that time) attempts to define it around "multiculturalism," while the progressivism of the 1910s/20s was in bed with virulent immigration restrictionists, hardline eugenicists, white supremacists, etc. So in your attempt to label Foner as a Communist/comsymp, you discredited yourself as a promulgator of leftist agitprop. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>(Matthew 26:52)</sup>]]''''' Monday, 13:38, May 15, 2023 (EDT)

Now I understand what you are saying, that makes more sense. Saying Foner is a part of the New Left would make more sense. I shall use that terminology instead to describe his views. -[[User:Mr. Nationalist|Mr. Nationalist]] ([[User talk:Mr. Nationalist|talk]]) 13:52, May 15, 2023 (EDT)
