Well that’s pretty tautological, you’re saying that social progress is needed to improve worker class living conditions, and then you are defining social progress as anything that improves working class living conditions. What I’m saying is that technological advancement rapid or not enhances/enables or quickens social progress

Right, what I mean is public housing, food security, zeroing unemployment, decent working legislation (securing existing rights and improving upon them).

I'm not sure how things are where you are but my country is struggling with high unemployment due to failed neoliberal policies and a lot of folks are now stuck in the gig economy enabled by delivery and ride apps. Their living conditions are inhumane and way worse than what delivery folk and cabbies used to have prior to the apps.
