This is, in short, an overview of the state of strategic thinking on the progressive left in the United States. The report was motivated by the impression the Progressive Strategies project that there is an impoverished strategic discourse among contemporary progressives in America. The word `strategy' is used frequently by progressives, and for the most part incorrectly. Many progressive writers and organizations use the term 'strategy' synonymously and interchangeably with `goals' and `vision' or simply with `policy', often without addressing tactics and operations, much less resources and the likely response of adversaries. Other times `strategy' is conflated with tactics or with plans of action. Tactics and plans are distinct subordinate aspects of a strategy, and pursuing them without a strategy will almost surely leave you well short of your
goals. The PSSP has made it their initial task to survey contemporary progressive thinkers and activists to find those who have an articulated a strategy or have substantially contributed to one. There are many levels of strategy. It is quite possible, and useful in its own terms, to have a good campaign strategy or resource strategy and not address building power more generally for progressives. We have looked specifically for strategies for building progressive power in the United States - power, that is, to achieve progressive goals.
