We're running out of words. One important use of "progressive" was to name non-communists who were willing to work with communists. (This would have included but *not* been limited to those disparaged by their enemies as "fellow-travellers.") As Michael suggests, however, the word seems to be losing its edge, being little better than a name for the more soulful type of liberal.
