I’m wondering if some of the difference of opinion in several comments are definitional. Can you clarify how you see liberal progressivism in comparison to liberalism generally? For example, as someone heavily involved in United States politics, I see the terms usually understood in the following way by my colleagues (and opponents). But this is not necessarily how they are used globally: * Socialism = far left socially and economically * Liberal progressivism = progressivism (the phrase liberal progressive isn’t used by most politically active citizens) = solidly left socially and economically * Liberalism = Center-left socially and economically (although historically has been used where progressive is used today)
