> favoring moderate causes and candidates and targeting progressives

for us non-americans, can someone please explain what general political aims the 'moderate' and 'progressive' parties represent? And where are they on the republican democrat spectrum?

For the US:

Moderate: between Republican and Democrat.

Progressive: left of Democrat

No one knows what you mean by left and right.

"Left" and "right" are common parlance throughout the world. Where, roughly, "left" favours collectivism and social responsibility, and "right" favours individualism and liberalism (classical sense, not American sense).

Those are horoscopes. They may be commonly understood, (although you're wrong about how people use left and right as well) but if you want to call yourself left, you can match those statements to your opinions, and likewise if you call yourself right. So it is still the case that no one knows what you're talking about.

Liberty is a function of an extraordinarily strong social contract. If you don't have strong enforcement of rights, you don't have rights.
