Liberal means a free marketer. Progressive doesn't.

When I think of liberal I think of classical liberalism to which much of personal beliefs are based upon. To call a leftist a "liberal" to me though is an egregious misappropriation of the term. Thus the correct definition is quite different from a so-called "progressive" which is another euphemism for a socialist.

Kind of like conservatism is a euphemism for fascist. As long as we're defining the other side.

Nyet.
