What is the differences between liberal, progressive, and communist?

No difference but I can't wait to hear their arguments.

Liberals believe people are basically good and embrace change - it is a personality/social type.

Progressives believe in crafting a society that is better, in their opinion, using the tools of government - it is a political leaning.

Communists believe that the State should own everything - it's an economic structure.

All are very different.

Progressive policies differ from liberal views. For example, liberals tend to believe in unending welfare without questions because they must just be down on their luck and are just waiting for opportunity. Progressives believe in temporary or transitional help so as not to irreparably damage those at the functional margins. Similarly, progressives believe that wealth accumulation can be exponential, those at the head of the race have greater responsibility for those behind them than what conservatives believe, because wealth generation doesn't occur in a vacuum.

Liberals are not necessarily Communists, just like a square is a rectangle but a rectangle is not a square. A devotional Communist is a special type of liberal with little attachments to austerity and the belief that money is a corrupting motivator.

And Communists tend to be regressive, not progressive. Communism can easily stifle what some people see as their motivation in life. Spreading everything around perfectly evenly is not consistent with human nature.

A progressive can arise in either a liberal or a conservative society. A progressive inherently seeks change from the status quo due to some societal complaint. Progressivism, to be honest, is generally viewed as a liberalized philosophy -- since in some way attacking the (whether conservative styled) status quo. Liberalism simply refers to freedom and equality -- which if both exist to great measure in a standing society, a liberal may not be a progressive who seeks change. Socialism is an economic system that ensures (basically) general wage equity and shared employment (not referring to ownership whether shared, state, or private). How such general wage equity and shared employment is accomplished can vary widely within socialism. Fascist dictatorships are not comprised within socialism, and can threaten and arise under any politico-economic system -- including under a republican politico-economic system (Caesar).

So how do liberals or progressives differ from communists when they share the same basic principles?

BINGO!

Read Sam Marcy's informative essay titled "Liberalism and Marxism" (which I am linking to as my source).

The biggest differences between liberal, progressive, and communist are the spelling and pronunciation of those words.

"What is the differences between liberal, progressive, and communist?" The spelling.

The basis of communism is community ownership of everything. No liberal wants that. We just don't want the corporations or religious nuts to own us and tell us how to live.

True communists are actually decent people. Liberals and conservatives are just caricatures of people. Cartoons.
