Progressivism is another word for Utopianism. Their utopias sound good but as of yet have never worked, or worked for long.

An there is such crap as the separation of facts and values (as if values (and in particular universal values) where not social facts). Well, this is a more effect of positivism which is deeply flawed in theoretical and practical terms. It is a consequence also of modern gnosticism, called progressivism of which positivism is one of the phases, that believes possible in a certain future a society with a perfect harmony of individual desires and social needs, making moral unnecessary. I have never heard anyone who expresses progressive, liberal, or left wing opinions state that they believe in a future society with a perfect anything or that morals were unnecessary.
