“The term progressive is usually used to keep from saying Communist.”

LOL- Yes that is exactly what that means.

Yeah, that’s the way it’s used *by Communists* and other Leftists who realized that their actions had made the word “liberal” too unpopular among Americans. Progressive used to have other connotations, not all of them bad (for example, U.S. progressives established popular primaries for the selection of party nominees), and in many areas the word was used to denote economic progress.
