a liberal is probably your average usa democrat that is considered conservative by european standards

a leftist is anyone that democrat might consider too radical (like bernie sanders who, for a lot of leftists, might just barely be considered leftist)

edit: i’m being downvoted - am i wrong? i was under the impression that this was the difference between a liberal and a leftist

but in all seriousness, i believe it’s a derogatory term for a communist

what parts are super progressive? asking cuz i have family in poland and would definitely love to learn more about the more progressive areas
