Gramsci is neat and all (4.00 / 1)

...But I was just looking at the Merriam-Websterian sense of "a group of legislators who act together for some common purpose."

I'm pretty rusty on my Gramsci, and there may be a legitimate distinction there between block and and bloc wherein block is preferred.  But talking about a Progressive Block strategy that relies so uniquely on a Progressive Bloc as its central component is confusing at best.

It's not confusing (4.00 / 2)

The bloc will block.  Get it?

Who are the best keepers of the people's liberties? The people themselves. The sacred trust can be no where so safe as in the hands most interested in preserving it.

Bloc is so European (0.00 / 0)

"Block" is like a basketball move, way more American.  We don't form coalitions, we stuff your layup, suckah!
