Following the mod’s advice above, I would like to avoid taking this into traditional flame war territory.
Perhaps we might agree that progressivism as a political movement has not succeeded in separating economic from social liberalism?
not succeeded in separating economic from social liberalism
At the same time that conservatism (in the US) evolved from being more focused on economic conservatism to a mixture, and sometimes a focus on, social conservatism.
Is it? At least in the US, I'm not sure what progressive political victories compare with, say, the long-lasting effects of the Trump administration, especially in the judicial area. More broadly, many progressive causes have been getting weaker in US politics for decades. How many of the places that enacted strong rent control decades ago would be able to do so today, for instance, vs those where it's been weakened?
