      Yes. It’s an American term used to describe those who are in opposition to conservative views. It’s not an ideology.

      But please, tell me what being a progressive values compared to any other leftist. What makes a progressive different from a anarchist, communist, or a dem soc who have defined values and beliefs?

          What, progressives are in favour of state owned utils or aren’t? Explain yourself properly.

            State ownership of utilities for one.

              Yes and what about it?

              Socialists would be in favour of state ownership of resources.

              Anarchists and communists wouldn’t be in favour of a state.

              What do progressives value about state ownership of utils, are they for it, against it?

                If you can’t answer such a simple question yourself, I’m not sure there’s any point continuing this discussion. Have a great day.
