"Progressive" has a meaning, and "radical" has never been a synonym for it. The modern usage of the term is mostly because a bunch of liberals are just plain terrified of being called "liberal." So let's call #3 what it really is - Leftist solutions.

And then I open the door.

Yes, semantics fucking does count. it's why morons point at that fascist fuck Stalin and go "Hur, that's socialism, dur-urrrr!"
