All capitalism is anti-progressivism, and you will never catch that football until you figure that out, Charlie Brown.
If that's what you think, that's fine. I don't really care. But, if progressivism can't be capitalist then people like Bernie Sanders and AOC aren't progressives, since they're not anti-capitalists. They advocate for a capitalist system that has a robust social safety net that's funded by a progressive tax system.

They aim for gradual legislative change in a capitalist hellscape. Both are stated democratic socialists.
Personally, I think they're fucking dreaming, but they're doing what they can.
