My bad. I wasn't aware it came from the black panthers. I learned it as a part of an epistemology of liberalism lecture from a Marxist activist way back in like 2016. At the time I didn't actually get it, as I considered myself liberal, but I will recalibrate what it is supposed to mean, since I just thought it was a general phrase.

AOC is neo-progressive at best, with the OG progressives being the ones in the 1890s-1920s who were into eugenics and public sanitariums, but also women's sufferage and public libraries (which is why I kinda understood the want to rehabilitate the label), but she hasn't even done basic shit so she might as well be a liberal at this point, no matter what she calls herself. There are neo-progressives who do oppose the genocide, but they don't really constitute a real defined political movement or ideology. So I guess that is just liberalism too.

Thanks!
