We did this argument here the other day. The word "progressive" has two important but distinct meanings in this context
Fiscally progressive = redistribution from rich to poor through tax/spend, commitment to equality of outcome etc
Socially progressive = anti-discrimination, pro LGBT+ rights etc, anti-class system
The second of these is absolutely compatible with liberalism, i.e. government can't tell me what my gender or sexual orientation is, or what I can do with my body (e.g. abortion).
