The French Revolution is the basis for what left and right means. Left = more progressive and the right = more stasis policies.

How can society progress when the government simply forces a subjective notion of good and bad? You can't really end racism if the government forces diversity. That doesn't solve any problems, it just kind of sweeps them under the rug. You can't really fix class intolerance (I'm not sure if that really is an issue anyway) by isolating them from each other. You can't fix community values by not allowing that community to value anything outside of what you yourself value. That isn't progression at all.
Government expansion isn't progression because it creates a degression of the liberties of the people where in which you stifle social development. Government regression is progressive because it creates a free thinking community where social development thrives and positive thinking is empowered.
