It's an interesting symptom actually, those people like Bismarck originally adopted the "progressive" label because they wanted to have some social safety nets (with obligatory remember that such nets were understood by them as the safety for the ruling class from revolution first and foremost), and now, after neoliberalism dismantled so much of the working class achievements, this label is back because the need for such safeties is indeed seen among some conservatives again.

In Canada, our conservative party calls themselves the Progressive Conservatives (PC). They're both racist and constantly working to dismantle what little social safety nets we have left. I have no idea what's so progressive about them.
