**. . . .And the "progressives" will have a better chance of prevailing.**
The scare quotes around _progressive_ don't serve to save the word. I know there are real difficulties in finding a substitute word, but it seems increasingly clear to me that the word "progressive" cannot be purified of the bourgeois delusion that Progress is structusred into hisotyr. And that delusion cannot be separated from its supreme literary expression, Kipling's "The White Man's Burden."
