What is the difference between liberal and "progressive"?

When I think of liberal I think of classical liberalism to which much of personal beliefs are based upon.  To call a leftist a "liberal" to me though is an egregious misappropriation of the term.  Thus the correct definition is quite different from a so-called "progressive" which is another euphemism for a socialist.

Kind of like conservatism is a euphemism for fascist.  As long as we're defining the other side.

No since fascism is simply a nationalist socialism. That is why most historical fascists were socialists before having differences about the role of one's national origin in their political identity.

Nyet.

I was being sarcastic.  As if this guy has any idea what socialism or even "leftism" really is.  He's just throwing out labels that are supposed to be "bad" as a cheap (but effective) way to demean the other side.

No I know what socialism is and that it is basically statism in one form or another it can be "democratic" or can be more "authoritarian".   And it has many different synonyms for it .  I sorry if you find it offensive.
