Why are you asking me? I’m not a Justice Democrat.
And what makes you different than a prog.
That’s trickier to define. They are similar in many ways, but modern progressivism is more of an American concept whereas social democrat is a more internationally recognized term. I think also there’s a lot of blurring of lines with these definitions, even within the left in the US. Some consider modern liberalism and modern progressivism to be the same where others consider liberalism to be more center and progressivism being more to the left. I prefer social democrat because its less ambiguous and doesn’t have ties to the earlier Progressive movement who supported things modern progressives don’t like eugenics and prohibition.
Preferring a more universal and accurate term over a Americanized one has nothing to do with being or not being a globalist. You can’t assume a progressive is a globalist.
And what’s this about claiming not to support eugenics? Are you implying social democrats support eugenics but won’t admit it?
You’re very keen on defining other people. What about yourself? Are you a libertarian? Conservative? Classical liberal?
Importantly, “Americans” took over a enormous area of the continent that never really ever had dense populations. Here was a essentially a wilderness richly endowed with almost pristine soils, primary forests, and an abundance of minerals and other natural resources.
