My favorite locution on this subject was Howard Zinn's who declared he wanted socialism without jails.

Idiosyncratic. Hard to sum up in a word. In flux. Decidedly left, I would say, though there are probably people who would argue with this self-characterization. Definitely not a liberal, and highly suspicious of the vague term "progressive", which seems to be merely a euphemism for "liberal" most of the time. Great admirer of Karl Marx, to the modest extent that I understand that mighty thinker. Anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, pro-labor. A touch of the Maoist tarbrush in my past, but currently unconnected with any party or even tendency. Does this help?
