I think it would be fair to say that mainstream science fiction, like Star Trek, is progressive, while mainstream fantasy, like The Lord of the Rings, is reactionary, and mainstream science fantasy, like Star Wars, is (fairly) archeofuturist. Golden Age science fiction is (in)famously libertarian — optimistic, and regarding many traditions as outdated, but recognizing reality and its constraints can't be ignored without dire consequences.

Hard Traditionalists (of the Evola sort) are essentially militarist hippies who have discovered that Leftism doesn’t work. An interesting lot…

Everything tends to move to the left, including science fiction. You might want to google the flame wars going on around Vox Day to get a sense of modern scifi.

"If science fiction is progressive" Sci-fi is often progressive in the literal sense, though not always, and not in the modern sense, apart from New Wave, which doesn't count.
