History is littered with giant piles of bones resulting from various progressive societies.

You use 'progressive' like it's a synonym for good. It literally means rapid social change. The Paris Commune was a progressive society, and so were the Bolsheviks. Do you remember Pol Pot? Very progressive. Mao and the Long Progressive March?

The conservative Roman Empire lasted 14 centuries.

Now that I think about, conservative regimes outlast progressive ones almost every single time. I mean I'm looking back what, 10,000 years? Not seeing a single liberal and progressive society surviving more than 200 years anywhere.
