Well, if I would have been you, I'd probably have replied:

"Peter, aren't you the one who is conservative, as you are still sticking to ideas of the sixties."

The problem with 'progressive versus conservative' is that it all depends on what the current mainstream is. At the moment that a so-called progressive political party has reached all its goals, it will become a conservative party, because it will set as its new goal the preservation of the status quo.
