Editing Progressive

Progressive is an catch-all term for individuals and movements which seek to further develop society. Whether by [[Scientific socialism|science]], [[Productive forces|technology]], or [[Relations of production|relations to the means of production]], progressives seek to change the current [[structures of power]]. In a Marxist context this means supporting any revolutionary movements, electoral efforts as described by [[Vladimir Lenin|Lenin]], and opposing [[capitalism]], [[liberalism]], [[imperialism]], [[fascism]], [[monarchism]] and [[feudalism]]. Progressives often draw heavy influence from futurism in their art and stories. In early period socialism, this led to the dominance of [[utopian socialism]] which has since been superseded by the modern [[scientific socialism]] movement. Progressives hold [[revolutionary optimism]] in high regard. This includes the veneration of [[class struggle]], [[class consciousness]], [[proletarian dictatorship]] and appeals to [[Secularism|secular]] humanism.
