More accurately, Communists are Progressives but Progressivism was so discredited at the turn of the century that they began calling themselves Liberals. It's only recently that they have begun to once again call themselves Progressives.


You are confusing classical liberalism for modern liberalism. Modern liberalism is Progressivism and the Soviet Union was incredibly Progressive. It's no coincidence that Communists and Socialist refer to themselves as Progressives.


China is Progressive.


 

You got me there... Dictatorial theocracies are not Progressive.


Conservatives want small, limited government. That is the polar opposite of what modern liberals (Progressives) seek to accomplish. Aside from their social issues, Conservatives and Libertarians are very much in agreement concerning the proper role of government.
