      And progressives are not leftists, they are centrist liberals. Sanders is never going to call abolishing private ownership of the means of production.

            That’s the very old ways. You can’t conserve them when they are gone.

              People are alive today that remember the times without restriction very very clearly. Namely the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the following welfare programs that saved or improved millions of lives, politicians on the right want to tear that down.
