Progress is about creating something that becomes the next tradition, offering advancement for individual peace and prosperity, away from institutional controls and requirements of government institutional drift.
The true definition of progress (decentralization) to accomplish peace in the world away from the institutional drifts of the past.
"True progress does not destroy traditional sectors, it evolves into something that serves the individual within themselves in each sector, rather than the institutional system's gravitational pull toward controls and requirements."
Example: The Atheist Marxist pathegon drift to socialism and communism is not progress, it's the desire to create a centralizaton tradition of theocractic power and rule, analogous to theocracies, such as divine authoritarian Islamic theocracies, but with state authority (theocratic colonialism). Example: Atheist Marxist China, maintaining the same gravitational pull toward institutional theocratic controls and requirements internally and implementation globally.
