“A rising tide lifts all ships.” That’s not strictly a progressive philosophy. More a philosophy held by people who aren’t idiots.

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.

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.

I wouldnt say so. Its very depending on Person. I’ve seen progressives that are hyper individualistic and others that are more collectivists

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 would think generally it holds true. Most ‘progressives’ agree that social services like healthcare, childcare, welfare, etc. are a good thing and should be supported/funded as much as possible. These are all collective arrangements achieved through some sort of governing system (taxes, etc.); however, I think that’s mostly as far as the general agreement usually goes. As soon as you get into collective food distribution on the same level as healthcare, it gets a bit thorny. Same goes for nationalizing any industry tbh (gasoline, telecom, mail).

Depends what you mean. I think ‘progressives’ are usually more collectivist in the economic / social democracy sense. But ‘conservatives’ are often collectivist in the sense that everyone should have same beliefs, same religion etc. I think that’s something that people sometimes miss, that right wing people are solely motivated by bullying people for being ‘different’ or wanting to control people’s private lives. They do both those things, but partly because some geninuely struggle to believe that different lifestyles can coexist. Everyone needs to have same sexuality and eat the same kinds of foods, so of course they want the collective choice to align with their personal preference.

As a left-wing person, I find it mind-boggling that people don’t see the unfairness of billionaires and poverty coexisting. And beyond unfairness, the existance of wealth disparity makes things worse for the poor than if everyone was equally poor. But conservatives think that its none of anyone’s business what happens in the bank account.
