@gemlog @Canageek No, I'm not sure what the right word would be for the policies of Bernie Sanders either; it's not really full socialism, but it does seem to head in that direction w.r.t. the US status quo.
On the other hand, I've always disliked "progressivism", with its implicit idea that society has one direction in which it is supposed to go. Isn't it obvious that society mostly passes through cycles, and that often the trend is to new and bad?
