Progressives (regressives) have been educating (indoctrinating) our American children for decades, inculcating (forcing) ideas such as political correctness (approved speech), globalism (one world government), global warming/climate change (redistribution of wealth), income equality (confiscation of wealth), resistance (anarchy), social justice (reverse discrimination), and tolerance (intolerance). Progressivism has generally succeeded in creating a few generations of snowflakes (melting babies given to tantrums) and college graduates whose degrees were expensive and useless. But nobody is complaining about higher education escalating costs and globalist indoctrination. Progressives have been urging their followers to make everything smart (U.N. compliant), to learn to deal with water shortages (water usage control) and to plan for green growth (control and destruction of property rights).

A lot of the critiques of “smart growth” from the right seem to ignore that zoning and freeway building are themselves expansions of the government. Not saying that smart growth advocates are libertarians but left to it’s own devices the free market will produce relatively dense mixed use cities. Japan has much less restrictive zoning laws and Tokyo is the result.
No sh*t.
EVERY left wing/liberal cause is part of the “progressive” path to communism.
