Thanks! Eventually someone is articulating a thought. :) I agree with almost everything you say.
progressivism seems to have been co-opted by statists who want to exert control over everyone else's lives and who want to punish and censor those that disagree with their purported ideals
In certain countries there are certainly signs of this happening. Nonetheless, this means that we need to retake control of what progressivism actually means and fight for its political implementation.
I personally find myself quite aligned with the ideas of the so called social liberalism "that endorses social justice, social services, a mixed economy, and the expansion of civil and political rights, as opposed to classical liberalism which favors limited government and an overall more laissez-faire style of governance" (from the Wikipedia entry for "Social liberalism").

It's difficult to achieve "social liberalism" without granting the state an absurd amount of power.

What is a mixed economy?
In your opinion who should decide what everyone civil and political rights are? And who should mediate if a person or group of persons disagrees with another group on what civil rights are?
