The fundamental flaw in progressivism is that it promises to lift up some groups but it does so at the expense of others: elevating blacks at the expense of whites; lifting up women by pushing down men; helping the poor and middle class by vilifying the rich; benefitting employees by punishing the businesses that employ them, etc. This is also evident in their "zero sum game" view of economics or in other words one group's gain comes at another group's loss. The appeal of this is that it requires no effort on the part of those it purports to help.
The sad reality is in the end this philosophy results in everyone being worse off.
