It’s something that’s struck me over and over as I’ve read through historical accounts of progressive movements, that despite their being ostensibly more collectivist compared to some conservative hyper-individualism…They struggle to hold together and coordinate to accomplish their goals. In some instances it’s interference or sabotage from outside, but as often it can be found from within as well.

What are some of the contributing factors here, and how might they be addressed to better accomplish progressive aims?

    Conservatives can organize more easily because it is easy to agree to not change anything. Progressives all want change, ostensibly in the same general direction, however that doesn’t mean they agree on the vector, or even what needs to be changed to achieve it.
