I'm still on the fence about that. When I watch some media from the 90s or 80s that would be considered "Progressive" at the time (example: Sliders), I find I mostly agree with it. Then there's others that are Progressive but clearly Marxist idealism (example ST:TNG).
Not all that long ago, the ACLU defended Nazis. They were a principled organisation at one point.
I don't know, maybe Progressivism itself was infected by Marxism early on like many subcultures have been recently.
The ACLU didn't defend Nazis because of free speech or some such, although many supporters and employees of the ACLU did believe in that. Skokie strengthened federal civil rights laws and destroyed local communities' ability to defend themselves from outsiders. Now, everyone has to tolerate pedo shows on the basis of civil rights using the same logic.
