Which is the true litmus test issue for progressives vs authoritarian conservatives

[LWolf]

24. You want more specifics?

Social justice: equal rights, collective care of the whole. Two of the policies that would facilitate social justice would be national health care free at point of service, universal, and free, fully public education pre-school through trade or university. There are plenty more.

Economic justice = closing the gaps. Some of the policies which would facilitate this include augmenting and expanding social security, unionizing the labor force, scrapping "free" trade in favor of fair trade based on labor and environmental standards, closing corporate tax loopholes, and many more.

There's not just one "policy" that separates the wheat from the chaff when it comes to social or economic justice.

Much of what passes for chaff, though, falls under the umbrella of neo-liberalism. One of the problems with your poll is that it doesn't recognize that there are other "evils" in addition to authoritarian conservatism. Neo-liberalism is one of them, and it's the evil that has caused the "schism" in the party and on DU. So if you want one defining policy that separates a good liberal/progressive from the bad...neo-liberalism.

Which was in my post, and which you chose not to address.
