Since when did No Can Do become a progressive slogan?

Whether that widely seen motivational aphorism really is a Chinese proverb is unknown. Some have attributed it to George Bernard Shaw, but scholars have not been able to find it in his writings. Maybe it was Sun Tzu or Confucius or some 11th century Shanghai carpenter prodding his workers. A more American version of this might be "Lead, follow or get out of the way." That quotation has often been misattributed to Thomas Paine, most recently by Mitt Romney, even though his staff knew that nothing like the sentence ever appears anywhere in that old radical's writings.
