Yes and no. It depends on how Americanocentric your question is.
Many collectivistic societies are more conservative than individualistic societies; however, collectivistic societies trend to be less discriminatory to minorities and more forgiving.
What exactly do you mean "progressive"?
Question too vague
I think it helps to clarify that we are talking about the current US Progressive movement and not just the abstract definitions of the terms. US Progressives have non-economic goals (restoring and expanding civil rights), but they generally agree that society should take care of everyone, not just the rich. That means providing at least food, housing, and health care without regard to income. There are a lot of different ideas about how that could be done. Everything from a Basic Living Stipend within a largely capitalist economy to a adopting a fully socialist, or even communist, economic system.
"A rising tide lifts all ships." That's not strictly a progressive philosophy. More a philosophy held by people who aren't idiots.
That's trickle down economics and a lie.
No, it's more that making rich people richer isn't a rising tide
Fair.
Exactly.
Trickle-down economics doesn't work, and everyone who isn't an idiot knows it whether they say it works or not.
Trickle-up economics would work, because if money gets into the hands of the people at the very bottom, they buy the things they need to live.
That's the tide, a rising tide is the people getting money.
I don't really understand how this is debatable honestly. We live in a collective. We are trying to make rules and govern our collective. Who on earth still denies that there exist more humans than like 36? I am so sick of this shit
You don't understand the issue, that's why you think it's a non-issue.
When you look at parties, progressive ones are less likely to compromise with other progressive parties while conservative parties are happy to hate everyone together.
less likely to compromise
In a way: close minded and dogmatic behaviour. The reverse of progressive.
