Progressives of all stripes, on all continents, cannot get past their obsession with the "organization of society".

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: There is a huge difference between nationalism and Nationalism.

Apparently no relation to Christian socialist Francis Bellamy who wrote the Pledge of Allegiance which was saluted with the Bellamy salute till the nazis started using it.

Hegelian crackpots.

But the key phrase was

you are putting a check on the whole of the higher kinds of labour on which the nobler national life depends

He wanted different people doing different things, or so he said. What he really wanted was a whole lot of other people who "labor" so he could have the nobler national life. He needed"leisure to produce and time to perfect.", and they needed to work to give him those benefits.

The progressives ALWAYS believe they are the entitled ones, the more equal ones, to make a jest.

selfishness still exists and operates in the hearts of men. But in the main, selfishness and individualism have been overcome by the feeling of solidarity and mutual brotherhood; and the scheme of life there described reduces the causes tending to create and foster selfishness to a minimum.

Rational selfishness is to be concerned about one's own life, survival, and interests. Whether one studies the nature of life, of value, of virtue, or of cognition, the conclusion is the same. To be, for a rational being, is to be selfish - by an act of choice.

As for individualism, reason and rationality are attributes of the individual, and there is no such thing as a collective mind or brain.

Blavatsky - Crowley - Muslim Brotherhood - Alinksky - Clinton - Obama...

So that’s why that photograph of Obama wearing a Aleister Crowly t-shirt IMHO needs another look. This is the “70+ million dollar vacation president” who proclaimed he was not going to take any vacations during his term in office. Gun control is flack necessary to obscure the view. We “bitter clingers” mustn’t see what mayhem these adherents have caused the rest of the world. So a crisis emerges out of whole cloth to distract the nation under siege. The connection between them all is fascism and its ancient technique is called propaganda. Magicians anyone? It is part of “political occultism.” The Italian experience has been mentioned recently in comparison with Obama in fact. We can adjust the “lens” a little here, and fill in the list with linked entities hidden, from the distracted victims, because certainly there are other adherents who could be added.
