I absolutely am a socialist.

Void seems to think I'm a fascist.
Wiki Wrote:Progressivism is a political attitude favoring or advocating changes or reform through governmental action. Progressivism is often viewed in opposition to conservative or reactionary ideologies. The Progressive Movement began in cities with settlement workers and reformers who were interested in helping those facing harsh conditions at home and at work. The reformers spoke out about the need for laws regulating tenement housing and child labor. They also called for better working conditions for women.
First line works well enough through all three of the things you say it is not. Socialism is not necessarily conservative, and I also don't think communism has shown to be considerably conservative (i mean... it was introduced through a few revolts and all...). Fascists are typically conservative, doesn't mean they have to be.
So... progressives are misguided socialists?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
