What Does the Progressive Left Stand For?
Hat Tip: Blue Collar Muse
The answer to the question posed in the title of course is that the Progressive Left stands for Collectivism. A great observation by Evan Sayet is that the so called Progressives have the basic idea that “Good is Bad and Bad is the Victim of Good.” That is why Progressives continuously denigrate the United States and support every oppressive regime as long as it purports to be against the United States.
The article by Nancy Salvato follows:
I’ve come to the conclusion that the United States is having a midlife crisis, an identity crisis. And this is a huge problem because if we don’t know who we are, what we stand for, or how we arrived here, how can we know how to navigate the 21st century while maintaining the freedom and standard of living we’ve come to take for granted?
US detractors (and there are many living within the boundaries of this country), it would seem, do not possess a very thorough understanding of our founding documents, the thinking from which they’re derived, or the importance of these ideas in maintaining the system of government which has served us so well over the past 200+ years. Much of the thinking on the Progressive Left echoes Socialist and Communist ideology, which historical records have shown to be enemies of freedom and creativity, two rights which I imagine if the Progressive Left were to be queried, they would admit are extremely important to them. The breakdown is that these people don’t have the surplus of information necessary to understand the repercussions of what they are seeking. How does the Progressive Left stack up?
