'''Progressism''', also known as '''technocratic progressivism''', '''techno-atheism''' and pejoratively as '''left-hirdism''', is a [[W:Radical politics|radical]] socio-political movement and ideology advocating for the acceleration of social and technological development through the suppression or outright elimination of regressive institutions deemed "regressive" and the consolidation of political power amongst the [[W:intelligentsia|intelligentsia]]. The ideology emerged in Suvania during the 20th Century, as a romanticization of the appointment of a [[W:Technocracy|technocratic]] directorate in the country during the late 18th Century. While originally focusing on social progress through [[W:Republicanism|republicanism]] and [[W:Anti-clericalism|anti-clericalism]], the ideology soon emerged as a distinct entity advocating for with the eventual goal of creating a [[W:Technological utopianism|techno-utopian]] society ruled on [[W:Positivism|positivist]], [[W:Technocracy|technocratic]] principles and free from "regressive elements".
 
While commonly regarded as an extreme form of [[W:Progressivism|social progressivism]], progressism contrasts heavily with the liberal ideas underpinning modern progressive organizations, opposing the [[W:Freedom of religion#Secular%20liberalism|liberal protection of religion]] and the promotion of [[W:Individualism|individualism]] as a underpinning of the self-interest found within [[W:Economic liberalism|economic liberalism]]. While there are a number of schools of thought within the movement on the place of democracy in a progressist society, the ideology has often been seen as opposing [[W:Liberal democracy|liberal democratic]] frameworks as inherently producing systems which stall progress and prioritize [[W:Populism|populist]] narratives over objectivity in policymaking.
