also, arguably a system that is not oppressive to some people in some way would not generate the kind of instability that would promote progress.    the fear that being on the losing end will lead to oppression is IMHO a key underlying driver of progress.

Fair enough - ‘non-oppressive’ was a poor choice of phrase. But oppression exists on a scale. Some empires (Belgian, British) were clearly more oppressive than others (Maurya, Roman).
