Progressives will be furiously ignoring this development. Progressivists believe in linear history, where things just get more and more left wing. Bringing up the fact that the most progressive government in history, the Soviet Union, collapsed and had to rebuild itself as a more conservative, non-Progressive country. History is nowhere near linear.

Political movements come and go. Collectivism has built-in time limits which must lead to its replacement. And a suffocated people will seek air.

You can smash the Jew and the Christian, but God will remain faithful and restore.

Good point. The progs can ignore it all they want but that doesn’t mean it’s not happening. God is on His throne and His ultimate will will never be stopped by them.

So-called “progressives” hate actual progress.
Article 1 Section 8. The Congress shall have power . . . To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries . . .
”Progressives” don’t oppose the patent office, of course. But while giving lip service to progress in the abstract, they put up a furious NIMBY blockade against any particular large project for the progress of the people. And as to science, they’re all for it - provided it doesn’t disturb their political agenda by debunking “manmade global warming.” Or any other “progressive” political agenda.
If you label socialists “progressive” in the future, scare quotes would be appropriate in order to avoid promoting Newspeak.
