Only parties that seek to address land inequality can be said to be progressive

A political party cannot claim to be truly progressive if it does not seek to address the problems of land inequality.

The simplest way for the State to deal with land inequality would be to impose a property ceiling, particularly with respect to land. This way, more land would enter the market which would then be sold at a cheaper price which is helpful to the poor. If a political party does not seek to address land inequality, it cannot be said to be progressive, in the modern age.
