From Wikipedia: Theocracy is one form of government in which a god or deity is recognized as the state's supreme civil ruler,[1] or in a higher sense, a form of government in which a state is governed by immediate divine guidance or by officials who are regarded as divinely guided...Theocratic governments enact theonomic laws.

I am being partially facetious while pointing out that liberals are believers. Obama is or possibly was their reigning demi-god. Sometimes liberals are just looking for a deliverer. If one fails, they just pursue another in perpetuity.

The fundamental problem with communism/socialism/progressivism is that they are belief systems. Reality constantly intrudes, yet the predictable and tragically bloody consequences of policies implemented by communists/socialists/progressives are ignored by them. It is as if history or causation or scientific proof don't apply to them. Why?

They've just not found the right people to be the Übermensch needed to save us from ourselves. They are true believers who pass Positive Law that violates Natural Law, but are always shocked that they cannot legislate reality.

They may be nominally any religion or none at all, what joins them in a mock-theocracy is their demand that we do what they want by force of violence. They will kill for the cause. Your beliefs and thoughts are their final goal.

Slavery, of course, is the province of the Prince of Lies. He is their master, and they, willing, happy servants.

They, ironically, always seem the most surprised when Sir Galahad turns out to be Cesare Borgia. When they discover this it is usually too late. As you can imagine they have all the accoutrements of a theocracy sans God.
