The progressive Fabian Society at the turn of the 20th century wanted public schools, women’s suffrage, and an 8 hour workday. These were all extremely radical positions.

Progressives today mostly want a return to the levels of taxation in the late 20th century that led to the creation of the vast American middle class, and an expansion of the popular Medicare program which began decades ago to cover everyone.

Progressives are actually quite conservative in that regard.
