The progressives believe there is no common sense limit to any kind of regulation, even if that theory extinguishes everything now in use. Why? Because they believe not in democracy but rule by the experts, and that official appointed the experts are never wrong, merely because they are official appointments. These twin antidemocratic theories of governance are at the foundation of all progressive movements.
This bilge goes back a long way. Bolshevism was promoted as “rule by experts”.
