Progressivism is inherently coercive.
Once the progressive has identified a victim group, they are willing to take from their perceived oppressor group for redistribution.
This could be along racial lines, socioeconomic lines, class lines etc. The key idea is “it’s ok to rob groups I don’t like (oppressors) to pay groups I like (the oppressed)”
Whether individuals in those groups have actually caused oppression or been oppressed themselves is beside the point. The group label is sufficient grounds for intervention.
