Leftist policies can't create a great civilization. You could never build a successful long-term society on socialism, feminism, secularism, pacifism, pro-homosexual policies, etc.

There will never be a successful society where the centuries-old traditions and customs are things like wealth redistribution, gender equality, acceptance of gay marriage, and so forth, because societies that practice such things won't last for great periods of time or prosper greatly for long periods.

Only conservative values build successful, prosperous, long-surviving civilizations. So leftists are forced to infect those civilizations and hijack them from within.

Unlike conservatives, leftists can't market their ideas as having a proven track record of success. Take marriage as an example. We can point to the success and durability of heterosexual marriage, but advocates of gay marriage can't.

So, lacking any historical track record of success, leftists are forced to use various marketing tactics to sell their agenda. The most successful such tactic has been to label their ideas "progressive", and then to call conservative ideas "reactionary". This allows them to cover up the fact that their ideas have never built a civilization or worked over the long haul.

Since many people, especially young people, like things that are new, hip, and fashionable, they hop on the leftist bandwagon. The very lack of success of leftist policies historically requires the left to make the argument that their views are "progressive". If their ideas worked, they'd be fighting to conserve the civilizations they built, which is what we on the right are doing. But leftist policies fail, and eventually kill any society they infect, so the only way such ideas can be sold is by telling people that the ideas that built their civilization are old-fashioned and that the leftist ideas replacing them are new and progressive.
