I think all Socialists and Communists goal is the violent overthrow of everything. I guess maybe Fabians are an exception.

Some of them hide it really well.

And, progressives see socialists and commies as their righteous ideological cousins whose error is being insufficiently pragmatic.

Progressives are OK with letting a market economy persist as long as they can control it. In this sense, progressives are crypto-Leninists. Lenin advocated “state capitalism”, wherein businesses would be allowed to continue growing and profiting, but the state would control “the commanding heights”.
