How NPOV is the word "progressive"? Do those who disagree with Galbraith consider themselves to be against progress? Michael Hardy 22:40, 1 Oct 2003 (UTC)

The opposite of the literal sense of progressive would be reactionary, which probably would be a good way of describing people on the other side of the fence. However, progressive has a more general meaning associated with leftwing. But I realize none of these terms are ideal... Liberal means different things in the US and Europe, left is pretty vague, radical isn't quite right in this context... -- Viajero 10:01, 3 Oct 2003 (UTC)

From my experience with him, I would say that he would consider himself to be a member of "the progressive movement", or at least in ideological accord with much of it. Kd5mdk 16:20, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
