Nice post, Lucy. I DO like some of Zappa's music, but I prefer Beefheart.The literal meaning of left progressive is they're consistently absurd.
I am sorry but to illustrate how I think the Modern Left Progressive Movement is I'm going to have to comment about the Dadaist Movement, which is my most HATED Art Movement, in a way this is going to be a change because I do not often get the opportunity to comment about Art at this forum.
The Left Progressives are the political version of something like the Dadaist Movement - I add first I LOVE the Surrealist Movement but have always hated Dadaism, so vulgar and ugly and pointless and grotesque - anyway, the Dadaist's were a group of filthy Communist animals who THOUGHT they were ahem Intellectual ( ) and they rejected all forms of Logic and Reason of the Capitalist Society (is this sounding familiar already?) and in place of Logic and Reason they created things of irrationality and total gibberish.
They created literally HORRENDOUS Quasi-Poetry which is so bad it is not even worth mentioning and I am in control of myself here because if I mention their Quasi-Poetry I am probably going to end up doing a mega rant about Tristan Tzara.
They are most famous for the Art they created not that it was Art it was disgusting and totally degenerate filth, this was their ultimate expression of HATE for Capitalist Society and it was correctly banned in our civilised nation. The majority of the Dadaists were of course Communists and it is NO coincidence while they were all being degenerate at this terrible club named the Cabaret Voltaire in Zürich that the Communist POS V.I. Lenin was near by planning the Russian Revolution in some basement.
It PAINS me to have to give an example of the Dada filth, but to illustrate my above comments I think I have to and so I have decided on the GROTESQUE creature George Grosz, here are two examples of his what can only be described as vomit on canvas. When I was at University, I once gave a speech that lasted 3 hours 25 minutes ALL about the filth of Dada and especially George Grosz who I HATE with a total organic VENOM, anyhow after the speech I got a standing ovation and two days later they gave a dinner in my honour! So George Grosz, vomit on canvas:

Of course Frank Zappa liked the Dadaists and of course his music is shit. Captain Beefheart was always MORE superior to the idiot Zappa.
