Nothing to understand. It’s just a primal, psychotic lust for power.
Years back, I was on our HS debate team, and the topic for that particular years was “Federal Aid to Education”.
Being a typical student at that time, I was on the affirmative side, with the debating points being virtual copies of the reasoning presented in that article. We won state that year.
Fast forward to now. The Feds indeed fund (and subsequently control) public schools. We know the results. Teachers that cannot teach, “standards” that are a joke, virtually illiterate and math unconscious students.
Always remember, one goes into the government NOT because they are superior, but precisely due to the fact that private industry could care less about untalented drivel. Remember the quote from Ghost Busters concerning private industry....”they expect results”.
If one wants further proof: Dorkbama, Pelosi et el. One cannot imagine a more idiotic bunch of uneducated pond scum.
I was told there are 57 states.
There is no God for them, but the collective will of the people and its leaders is readily elevated to God-like status as the source of all good and morality for them.
Social justice can be seen as investing religious levels of devotion in vicious egalitarianism and belief that only liberal dogma is good, moral, smart, tolerant, acceptable, hunt down the unbelievers and kill the blasphemers. Liberals already hold those values, that only they are good, smart, educated, reasonable, because it is lazy moralizing and an easy way to deny any legitimacy to their rivals but the social justice warriors raise it to a Sacred Truth and hate the “Haters”, see it as a moral duty to enforce political dogma to the smallest nuance.
Ultimately it is about control. The leftist love big government because it allows them total control over the masses.
This is why they hate Trump. He is dismantling the total control that deep state envisions.
“Progressives” are not even truly about “democracy” either.
They only have one use for “democracy”.
That is to elect people who will erect “national” executive branch agencies that will proceed to direct everything without interference from the democratically elected representatives of the people - Congress.
And every act of turning over law making (spoken of falsely as “only regulations”) to federal agencies is a Progressive act of abdication by Congress’ of authority the Constitution granted only to them - that Congress and Congress alone has the authority to make ALL federal law.
“the intelligent, farsighted, and public-spirited element in society”
Where do them there people come from?
The main reason they love CENTRALIZED big government is because it is much easier to take over and control one entity than a thousand small ones. And they are very good at taking over any organization.
Which is why public government education is so much better today than it ever was before the Carter administration created the federal department of education.
