I see it as exact opposite.
The "left" parties have long abandoned social progress and are now regressing. Support or racism (affirmative action), terrorism, violence against women, violence against Jews, violence and rioting in general, denial of science, against meritocracy, against freedom of speech.
Technically, while going back to meritocracy, equality, freedom of speech is "reactionary", I'd definitely term it progress.
