I think that we need to take the word "progressive" away from them including when there is a choice between "left" vs. "right." They actually do not make progress. It sounds too nice for what they actually do. These things have 1 thing in common:
Prohibition of slavery
End of child labor
Women in the workforce
40 hour work week
In the past, people's work was spent just to exist. As technology replaced hard labor and allowed people to pursue new and specialized (often easier) labor, the progress above was made possible. Before technology simplified domestic labor, a homemaker was required. These changes were not the result of a political party with better morals, it was possible because of technology (including new forms of energy, such as wood to coal to oil). The biggest problem was not making responsible social progress when technological progress happens. So called "progressives" take a naive approach, and future generations pay a terrible price. They are not "progressives," they inject social degeneracy in with technological progress.
The more cunning enemies of humanity have always taken POSITIVE, HEALTHY human needs and desires and corrupted them by injecting MALICE:
That is how the compassionate old Left (anti-war, healthy anti-racism, etc) was transformed into the Woke present-day "Left" that violently opposes everything healthy and natural, enforces actual racism, defends criminals and their actions, and forces perversion and insanity down our throats.
Yes. I have thought a lot about left vs. right over the years. Looking at the problem from different points of view: Political systems, politicians, powerful corporations, the voting population, etc.
When a politician's political power depends on grievances, they are incentivized to ensure that those grievances continue to exist. A political system that allows for reelection creates a disincentive for solving the problems that are required to exist to get them reelected.
