In your opinion: Does the political term progressive have the same meaning in today's politics, as progressivism originally did in the 1890's?
Where do you see productive political activity occurring today?

No.
Not in progressive circles, where the entire goal is to destroy.
Not in conservative circles, where resistance to change amounts to no productive activity, aside from the usual.
Not in libertarian circles, because they're not yet able to break power of fascism. Maybe some day, though the potential destructive effects of anarchy are quite worrisome.
Fascism is where all the money and power is concentrated now, and has been since (my guess) the early 20th century. It seeks increased concentration of wealth and power, and to that end might be called "productive".
No matter how I look at it, the way we currently do politics can not be "productive". Until people wake up to the true paradigm there's not much hope for anything but destruction. At best we can seek to limit the harm by constraining the fascism.
