    Progressives are basically the left wing of the neoliberal consensus but not “left” if we’re talking like actual left ideologies ie socialism.

      I always understood it otherwise, that progressive was more to the left, outside that neoliberal democrat stance. But these things change over time and I may have always just misunderstood.

        Leftists generally call themselves leftists. Progressives are usually Social Democrats, ie Scandinavian Capitalism.
