"Always" may depend on how long you've been around. Once upon a time it meant folks who were devoted to everyone making progress toward a better life, especially those with few or no advantages.
Here's a reasonable definition from Wikipedia:
"While the term progressivism represents a range of diverse political pressure groups, not always united, progressives rejected social Darwinism, believing that the problems society faced, such as class warfare, greed, poverty, racism and violence, could best be addressed by providing good education, a safe environment, and an efficient workplace." And, much more.
While there may be sociopaths describing themselves as progressives, it's really not the best way to climb the social/economic ladder. For example, the Squad (in Congress) called themselves progressive, yet when it came to ladder climbing, they threw that out the window and paid tribute to their leaders, Pelosi et al.. Another huge disappointment.
