Quickly, regarding the critique of CT, whether progressives have end goals, etc...
Can we honestly say that any ideology is ever satisfied? Are you ever satisfied? Was there ever a utopian time where everything was as it should be? Every cause moves from one cause to another, towards whatever they think is the ideal. There are those within the Libertarian movement far more zealous than I who would essentially abolish nearly all forms of government, which I don’t agree with. So as one piece is defunded or dismantled or weakened, they are quickly moving on to the next, in pursuit of their ideal. This is the tension that exists between ideologies. Both sides ultimately see the other as seeking to destroy.
Are you ever satisfied?
No, but I can envision a world in which all are treated equally and have a fair right to compete to get ahead. That would satisfy me, though of course in reality such a condition will never be achieved.
CT, by definition, cannot envision a world that would satisfy it. It is solely an oppositional movement. Its goal is to destroy, not caring what replaces the institution brought down.
