"Progressive." Used to be a euphemism or less scary sounding term for communist. Now it has replaced "liberal" for "left of center". Right wingers have smeared the term "liberal" as being the same thing as "radical leftist", "socialist", etc. And liberals have let them get away with it. So they replace it with a term that actually does mean "radical leftist" or "socialist".

"Justice" is one that sticks out.
And while we're at it we need to scrap the term "conservative". It used to mean "prudent", "cautious", "disciplined", etc., and was associated with free markets, and free trade, and fiscal sanity, and opposition to dictatorships. Now it means just the opposite.

Yet there are still many true conservatives. You are describing Republicans.
