Nicely said Diamond. Is there a distinction made here between Progressive and Radical leftist thought

For sure. I tend to view Progressivism from a much broader context that’s tied to a laissez faire ethos.

Just asking. If the general community (common people) use "progressive" in one way, and you use it differently, would that make it easier for you to be misunderstood

I actually love being misunderstood for I find it to be the honey nectar of thoughtful dialogue and debate.

History is rife with examples of time periods where belief systems fail, and the way through is never those old, failing ideologies. This is especially true for political ideologies when external situations politics primarily deals with are rapidly changing.

Progressivism, like every other ism, is in the way.
