Progs want you to forget that DPRK; NSDAP; Warsaw Pact; post-rev. Cuba, Venezuala, Albania were leftist police states.

While you're at it you might as well attempt to say that communism during the same era wasn't collectivism.

You're on the losing side of this.

There's something in the water in Glennbeckistan.

I'm pointing out that progressive left has not value. If you want to say the Nazis were a progressive left movement, fine. But what you're trying to do is also equate that to be similar to the Democrats. It's not.

As I've said over and over again, left is not universal depending on when and where you are. Left in Germany in the 1920s is not the same thing as left in modern America. This is a concept that basically everyone with even the smallest amount of understanding in political science should be able to grasp, yet you still feel this need to compare America's left to the Nazis.
