You might be progressive ...
If one espouses the rights of the collective being greater than the rights of the individual, one is a leftist.
An example is the advocacy of experimental COVID-19 vaccine being mandated by Government without individual consent. (AV Press L2E 9/8/21). If one believes the Constitution is a living document, into which one can conjure up government rights in accord with current issues (2nd amendment, gun control, etc.), one is progressive. (AV Press L2E 7/1/22).
You might be progressive if you think
“… health care is a basic human right, and that single-payer national health insurance is a worthwhile reform… [Socialism]
… U.S. military spending is an obscene waste of resources... [Globalism]
… public education should be free … as far as a person is willing and able to go. [Socialism]
… as a society we have a collective obligation to provide everyone who is willing and able to work with a job that pays a living wage ... [Socialism]
… regulating big corporations isn’t enough, and that such corporations, if they are allowed to exist at all, must either serve the common good or be put into public receivership. [Communism]
… it’s wrong to allow individuals to accumulate wealth without limits, and that the highest incomes should be capped well before they begin to threaten community and democracy. [Communism]
… that national borders, while sometimes establishing territories of safety, more often establish territories of exploitation… [Globalism]
… open to considering how the privileges you enjoy because of race, class, gender, sexual orientation, and/or physical ability might come at the expense of others. [Marxism]
… no one would have more wealth … than they need until everyone has at least as much as they need… [Communism]”
