Thus the problem with progressivism--just like a bureaucrat cannot imagine people might function well without his governance, a progressive cannot imagine that nothing need be changed. And so, all that currently is, is anathema and must be changed. If you meet somebody who identifies themselves as progressive, know that you are in the presence of somebody who wants to control and destroy everything in order to substitute his own thought and will never ever be satisfied with how things are, even when he eventually succeeds.
