Progressivism is what they call it when they're afraid to call it what it REALLY is: liberalism.
There’s nothing “liberal” about what these statists believe. It’s just totalitarian collectivism, plain and simple.
Wouldn’t it actually be Socialism?
It really isn't liberalism it is Stalinism. The Progressive movement of the early 1900’s(Theodore Roosevelt etc) was about honest, responsive government and reforming the corrupt Democrat machines(Tammany Hall etc). The Progressive movement of the 1930’s on was financed and supported by the former Soviet Union.

No, it's what it's called when they don't want to call it Marxism. Being a "liberal" USED to mean that you were in favor of personal freedom. Then the Marxists took over the label and the real "classical liberals" had to rename themselves "libertarians" (note the small L)

There, I completed the progression. Every time I hear the term Progressivism or Liberalism I mentally replace them with the word Marxism. It works like a charm and things start making perfect sense in a depressing sort of way.
