Eh. If you’re in the know, then yes, you’re correct, but your average American probably doesn’t even understand that there’s any distinction at all, and so for those people “liberal” is the catch-all term for progressives.
If someone who actually understands politics calls me a liberal, I’m gonna protest. If my dumbfuck uncle calls me a liberal, I’ll let it lie, because that’s as close as he’s reasonably going to get to understanding my political views.
progressives understand the difference, not our fault the rest of the nation is uneducated,fuck it’s their fault schools are underfunded and refuse to learn
Like class, political philosophy is tied to who owns things. Who controls the means of production.
“Progressive” is a meaningless term for those who think capitalism can be reformed, but think enough activity can make neoliberalsim not do what capitalism always does, accumulate for the private holders.
