All progressive means is I believe in socio-political-economic (that's a mouthful) change for the better, in this case for the people. It doesn't mean anything else. Unless I really don't think that, and I just support corporations and theocracies...um..yeah, anyway. A progressive isn't a liberal who likes every culture but their own, all cultures have their merits and problems, and some cultures are certainly superior to others. Any progressive or leftist that's honest would acknowledge that.
