Among the left leaning blogs, one site that I find more honest and intelligent is the somewhat recent "OpenLeft" -- for one thing, adopting "Left" in their name demonstrates a stronger spine than less confrontational terms like "progressives" that have become all the rage.

CB: Hey if they get a really strong spine that might say "Marxist" or even stronger spine "Communist".



I hope its not the lack of a strong spine that stops me from calling myself a Marxist or Communist. ;-) As Jim mentioned in his response, the left viewpoint encompasses a wide range of issues that share a common basis. You may argue that Marxism or Communism is that base (or that they describe that base in clear terms), and I cannot respond on that since I lack the knowledge.
