In the 1930s, "Progress" was the replacement of a relatively free society with Nazi authoritarianism. In the 1940s, "Progress" (for half of the country) was the replacement of Nazi authoritarianism, where the secret police mostly targeted ethnic/political/sexual minorities, with Soviet authoritarianism, where the secret police targeted literally everyone and everything. So perhaps that is an object lesson in the value of not "moving on" from a relatively good situation |
