The Case Against Progressive Utopia
American Thinker ^ | 6 Jan, 2024 | Deane Waldman

Posted on 01/06/2024 7:45:11 AM PST by MtnClimber

For the utopian leftist, all actions are permissible, as the end justifies the means.

Everyone wants to live in a place where all needs are met, where there is no anxiety, discord, or strife. Whether by legislation or brute force, those who call themselves progressives, socialists, the radical left, or simply Democrats intend to achieve such a utopia in the U.S.

All actions are permissible, as the end justifies the means. Right and wrong, morality and ethics take a back seat. Totalitarianism may be required.

Tactics include hypocrisy and double-standards; diversion, distortion, disinformation, and misinformation; logical inconsistency; and rejection of proven science.

Radical activists conceal the fact that, to protect the Earth from pollution, climate change, and other ravages of human technology, utopia will require “rollback of the industrial age” — that is, without electricity, a hunter-gatherer society, where all your needs are provided, by you!

Socialists (utopians) claim they advocate tolerance for all peoples and all viewpoints — but only the officially approved, politically correct ones qualify. A founding member of the American socialist movement, Herbert Marcuse, wrote, “Tolerance is extended to policies, conditions, and modes of behavior which should not be tolerated [italics added] because they are impeding, if not destroying, the chances of creating an existence without fear and misery” (utopia).

On January 6, 2021, a crowd of unarmed, nonviolent Trump-supporters entered the Capitol illegally. Videos confirm that they calmly toured the premises, some shepherded by police. The DoJ has charged more than 1,000 Americans over J6, most with insurrection — the “violent attempt to overturn recognized authority or legally constituted government.”

Six months earlier (June 2020) in Seattle, heavily armed individuals took over federal buildings, including the courthouse, and violently ejected “legally constituted government” to establish the CHAZ, or the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone...

The sad part is Technology has made it possible for billions of people to exist on Earth and these numskull Leftists impede it constantly. They call themselves Progressives when Progress is the opposite of what they achieve. Since pro is the opposite of con I suggest ‘Congressives’ is a better word for them .

Reality, logic, and rationality do not exist. They have no concept of what these even mean. They live in a false reality and want to force that false reality on everyone across the board.

If Socialists were honest about who they really were they would be rejected outright. That’s the reason for their lies.

Their ideas lead to death, misery and bondage. And we know it now. Name ONE commie hellhole YOU would want to live in as a private citizen. There are none.

Now for ‘leaders’ commie hellholes offer the most power, the most evil and the least oversight. It’s whye loser children of ‘elites’ push for these hellhole conditions. A “Hunter Biden’ scum of the earth would have great power in a commie hellhole. Along with the other ‘private school monsters’ who can’t live up to daddy’s success. Think Liz Cheney - Ronnie Reagan, Megan McCain all the big ego, little talent bullies...

That’s the best description of leftists I’ve seen in a long time.

The world must be dominated and governed by the control of a “Pure Elect” or suffer the violent anarchy of the masses.Utopian movemnents were the primary basis for totalitarianism in the 20th Century.

The Historical Precursors of Today's ELITIST UTOPIANS.

Have we not seen this "dystopia" many times before. My father's generation sacrificed tremendously to kill these idiots off, who were attacking the world from Japan, Germany and other places, including from Palestine ( The Grand Mufti and Hitler)

1)

Tojo,The Imperial Rule Assistance Association (Japanese: 大政翼贊會/大政翼賛会, ( Taisei Yokusankai) A fascist orgainization popularized under cover of a utopian false return to modern Samurai like warriorship and loyalty to the Emperor)


2)

Hitler and his Utopian Teutonic Race Based Socialist Party ( similar to US Democrat Party Utopian Ideology of equity, CRT and DEI. Utopian World Economic Forum /Klaus Schwab, and the Utopian liberal party of Canada under Justin Trudeau)



3)

Grand Mufti of Jerusalem (Palestine)Haj Amin el Husseini

Precurser to Gaza's Workd Caliphate Utopian Hamas and the Utopian Worlkd Caliphate Muslim Brotherhood now investing the Biden administration via Huma Abedin and successors.

Now the modern ELITE fascists want to take over our electoral systems using billions of dollars via Soros and others, a lying socialist media, Climate Change Cult and fraudulent election organization throughout the free world.

President TRump will lead the fight against these modern fascists as well as against China, North Korea and Russia, if Divine Providence keeps him from assassination.

LETS ROLL !

You mean I’m going to lose my prestigious, high-paying job because I cheated and indirectly supported rapists and war criminals?

Think of it a step toward greater equality.
