Pridi and the progressive reds

Maybe I have been a bit too busy as of late with my real job, but today I only just heard of a reference to a group known as the Pridi group, named I assume after founder of Thammasat University and revolutionary leader Pridi Bhanomyong. It was a reference in passing to a group of "progressive redshirts" who stand against corruption.

The reference was made by a friend who went further to explain that the progressive reds were not dissimmilar to a group of progressive yellows that are emerging.

Yellowshirts who stand against corruption? Wow, that is such a revelation. Either you get it or you don't.

That said, I vague recall a Nation piece years ago of a group calling themselves RedMove, anti-Monarchist but at the same time not Pro-Thaksin. Nothing was heard from them since. Time will tell if the Pridi group will continue, and indeed, if the continue to complete what their namesake started back in 2475.
