For those opinion editors conflating socialism with progressivism:

"Progressivism is a political philosophy that seeks to raise the standard of living of the average member of society in order to achieve a positive social change."

"While socialism and progressivism both seek the economic and political equality of all members of society, they differ in their views and approaches."

"Socialists want to abolish capitalism because they believe that it exploits the working class. They want the working class to play an overpowering role in shifting society from capitalism to socialism either through a popular vote or going on a general strike..."

"... or even going to the extreme of uprising or revolution. Progressives, on the other hand, believe that capitalism is the most expeditious way to grow the wealth of society under a regulated business environment."

Warren is the epitome of a progressive: she plans to regulate and leverage capitalism for the benefit of the people.

Imagine achieving the heights of being published in The Guardian and basing an entire argument on a false premise. Which begs the question: is the writer stupid, or does he think we are?
