Russellite is a rare and obscure term used to describe followers of Thomas Paine and his political beliefs. In modern language, the term is rarely used, and understandably, individuals are not often referred to as Russellites. Instead, many modern-day synonyms may be used to convey a similar meaning. For instance, supporters of liberal or progressive values may be described as progressives, leftists, or social democrats. Those who champion social justice may also be described as social justice warriors. More broadly, those with a concern for individual freedoms and civil liberties may be described as libertarians, while those who emphasize economic freedom may be referred to as capitalists.
