If anybody wants on/off the revolutionary progressivism ping list, send me a message

Progressives do not want to discuss their own history. I want to discuss their history.

Summary: "It was not necessary that these 'key persons' should be members of the Fabian Society; often it was as well they should not; what was essential was that they should at first or even second-hand be instructed and advised by Fabians." - Margaret Cole, Fabian Historian

Gramsci described this process - “the long march through the institutions”- as an inevitable mechanism rather than a deliberate policy. It does pretty much amount to the same thing.

Interesting. They have taken an evolutionary approach to overcoming the ideals of freedom and liberty and our republican form of government.

Supposedly, with environmental stress, mutation, reproduction and enough time even something as complex as a human being can evolve from nothing but dirt.

They are doing a reverse sort of evolution against us by mutating/changing our Constitutional, philosophical and societal DNA a little at a time.

While the older members of society might be outraged by the changes away from the world of their youth, those born into this current progressive mutation of the world don't have this historical perspective and think that things now are how they've always been.

When the older generations die off, their knowledge of how things used to be, how they are supposed to be, is lost and the mutations made during their lives are made permanent.

We grow progressively accustomed to bigger and bigger government doing more and more and controlling more and more.

Where outside tests and stresses, the natural and man made disasters, used to make us stronger and more united as a nation, now we demand more government, more alphabet agencies, more programs and such to take care of us.

We grow weaker and more divided as a nation, but also at every level of the hierarchy down to each of us as individuals.

The striking feature of evolution is survival of the fittest, yet we have taken an evolutionary approach to making us weak and dependent. See where this is going?

I don’t know. I think we have some Coffee House Communists who sit at the back table of the coffee house drinking espresso and whispering about the dictatorship of the proletariat. They’re the old grandpa and grandma liberals working at the university or government job thinking that they’re “mysterious”. They aren’t the throat cutters. The throat cutters will need to be shipped in to the US. It always comes down to money. Every communist uprising has been by people who wanted control of the power, and thus money, but couldn’t achieve it in the system they were in. Castro doesn’t live in a tent, breaking off a piece of his moldy bread to share with a fellow Cuban. He’s as much of a socialist as Warren Buffet.
